SUMMARY:What does the future hold for regulation of the profession? Trend
 s and challenges
DESCRIPTION:US President John F Kennedy said that 'change is the law of l
 ife. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss 
 the future'. Change has certainly become the law of life for the global 
 legal profession\, and the pace shows no sign of slowing. International 
 regulatory experts will engage attendees in a conversation about these c
 hanges\, and what they mean for the future of the regulation of the prof
 ession and the delivery of legal services.  First\, the discussion will 
 focus on newer lawyer regulatory mechanisms being adopted globally\, inc
 luding forms of proactive management-based regulation and entity regulat
 ion. These forms of regulation are being shown to help lawyers and firms
  better serve clients and avoid disciplinary problems. The second half o
 f this session will address the proliferation of additional providers of
  legal services (whether individuals or e-commerce platforms)\, whether 
 they should be regulated in the public interest\, and if so\, how?  Each
  of these developments poses opportunities and challenges for the global
  legal profession and the public.
