Abstract

At the time of the reform of justice in Colombia, this article aims to explore the relevance and effectiveness of two competing conceptions of the regulation of professions, particularly the legal profession: self-regulation through a professional order, and liberalization, ie the absence of specific rules related to the profession. For that will be presented various models of lawyers’ associations before to analyze the European Commission’s position on that issue. Finally we will see how this position could effectively oppose the guaranteed quality of service.
