英国律师体制不仅与大陆法系国家的律师体制不同,而且与英国法系国家的律师体制也不同。英同律师体制最显著的特征是律师有专门律师和事务律师之分。英国的律师区分体制历史悠久,其渊源可以追溯到中世纪,是英国传统习惯,法律法规、律师职业规范经过相当长历史时期的相互影响,逐步发展、演变的结果。本文仅就英国律师的区分体制及其改革与保守之争作一介绍。 The British lawyer system is not only different from the lawyer system in civil law countries, but also different from the lawyer system in English law countries. The most striking feature of the Anglo-Saxon lawyer system is that lawyers have specialized lawyers and solicitors. The division of lawyers in the United Kingdom has a long history and its origins can be traced back to the Middle Ages. It is the result of the mutual influence, gradual development and evolution of British traditional customs, laws and regulations and professional ethics after a long historical period. This article only introduces the distinction between British lawyers and the controversy between reform and contention.
