Abstract | In 2011, Linda Haller reported in Legal Ethics on proposals for national regulation of the legal profession in Australia. In common with other English-speaking federations, the legal profession in Australia is organised on a sub-national basis: in Australia’s case, there are separate professions (and some divided) in eight States and Territories. The federal Parliament has no power that would enable it to settle one scheme of regulation for lawyers across the country. However, the Australian federation had actually secured a high degree of harmonisation in the Model Laws on National Legal Practice (Model Laws), which all Australian jurisdictions, apart from South Australia, implemented between 2004 and 2008. |
