SUMMARY:Rule of Law Symposium: business for the rule of law - perspective
  of the business of legal services
DESCRIPTION:The Rule of Law goes to the very foundation of order in our s
 ociety. Around the world\, countries are increasingly scrutinised for th
 eir adherence to\, deviation from\, or abuse of\, the rule of law. What 
 is becoming clearer\, however\, is the connections between rule of law a
 nd social and economic development.\n\nToday’s Symposium will move the d
 ebate from legal concepts and the role of state actors\, to the specific
  roles that both business (including the business of the legal professio
 n) and the legal profession have to play in respecting\, supporting and 
 advancing the rule of law. General counsels\, corporate lawyers and the 
 overall legal profession are called to understand the impact of business
  for the rule of law initiatives and lead them.\n\nGiven the law regulat
 es complex relationships\, lawyers are essential to the rule of law – ir
 respective of the character of a legal system. As observed by former Hig
 h Court Chief Justice “The law which rules the law according to the ruli
 ngs of the courts\, is applied in the offices and chambers of the legal 
 profession”. The legal profession has a role to play in the framing of l
 aws\, and even more important role in maintaining and advancing the rule
  of law. The Symposium will hear from leaders of the legal profession as
  to how they are pursuing this role. There will be a specific focus on h
 ow the business of the legal profession engages in the advancement of th
 e rule of law.
