AVROM SHERR
The first issue of 2003 begins with an article by Richard Moorhead et al. questioning
the client lawyer relationship in terms of client knowledge and client perspectives
relating to legal competence. It brings to light important areas of the Quality and
Cost report on legal aid contracting which allow for a close consideration of the
nature of clients' relationships with their lawyers in the context of legal aid or legal
services work. With the large number of cases involved in the Quality and Cost
research it is possible to link concepts of client satisfaction with real competence of
their lawyers, as assessed by other lawyers.
Two articles consider the legal professions of mainland Europe. Gisela Shaw
writes about notaries in civil law Europe, and especially in Germany. The effects of
European Union harmonisation and deregulation could constitute a threat to the
workings of civil law notaries and their monopolies within each national legal services
market. Europeanisation, in this case, may reflect the beginnings of a more common
law based view of notaries for the future. Van Houtte and Gibens report on changes
in the occupations of law graduates in Belgium over the last fifty years. They note
the growth of non-traditional legal occupations being taken up by law graduates and
make a plea for further research along these lines in other countries.
A strong Legal Education section includes a study of problem solving in legal
education from Edwin Greenebaum, a comment on American legal education by
David S. Clark and some reflections on clinical education in the United States from
Paul Bergman.
