Improve Our Lawyer Disciplinary Proceedings

Lawyer punishment widely exists in the practice of lawyermanagement, but the qualitative question concerned lawyer punishmentprocedure is puzzling the theorists and the practical realm continuously.The procedure is different with the lawsuit procedure and theadministrative procedure in its particularity of main body, goal and basis.It essentially is one kind of independent autonomy procedure.The unique value of the procedure lies in realizing lawyerpunishment, maintaining the development of lawyer industry and thepublic benefit of our society. The procedure is one kind of independentautonomy procedure, therefore, its formulation and design must followunique principles including the profession autonomy and the judicaturefinal examination, except following the main routine principles such asthe democracy, publicity and so on.In western main countries such as America, England, Japan, France,German, the procedure design has experienced a long process, relativelyquite completes, and presents characteristics on emphasizing professionautonomy, establishing scientific punishment organization, matchingreasonable punishment personnel, considering litigant's procedureparticipation, intending complete relief program, valuing judicature finalexamination, still unceasingly is reconsidered and improved.After several stages of development, the legislation of the procedurein our country still has some questions—the disposition of punishmentpower unreasonable, the procedural movement mechanism imperfect.
