Aims and Scope: 
International Journal of the Legal Profession is an 
academic journal addressing the organization, structure, 
management and infrastructure of the legal professions of 
the common law and civil law world. 

The journal encompasses studies of the work, work 
practices, skills and ethics of the legal profession as 
well as the internal management of law firms and chambers. 
It also considers the methods and extent of provision of 
legal services. A range of socio-legal information is 
included involving inter-disciplinary interest from 
academic and professional lawyers, economists, 
philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists 
and business academics interested in the world of law and 
lawyers. 

Major changes are occurring in the legal professions of 
America, Europe and Australasia. The profession has become 
much more open for study and accountability to the public 
and to government. Academic interest has grown over recent 
years and study of the legal profession is now well 
respected and represented within law departments. Scholars 
have begun to view law as an interesting area of study and 
lawyers, without any internal methodology for assessing and 
measuring their work or value, have welcomed the outside 
interest. 

International Journal of the Legal Profession considers 
these issues at an academic level, but also provides 
strategic solutions emanating from its literature. It is 
therefore of interest to theorists within law firms as well 
as academia.
