Estudio socio-jurídico de los abogados en libre ejercicio profesional. El caso ecuatoriano

Abstract

Abstract: When talking about a lawyer in free exercise, we refer to a professional whose job is to defend and watch over the interests of his client in a litigation. Lawyers who work independently and have no relationship with a public institution are also considered lawyers in free exercise. The free professional practice is an area that is not well regulated since it is not possible to talk about a schedule, salary, or preparation, so this situation generates ambiguity and a high labor competition, being the most fit and prepared those who stand out, However, there are a large number of lawyers in free practice of the profession, who are currently in various institutions both public and private, offering only the means to resolve a dispute but not results. Today the legal professional is unprotected, and even more so when he recently graduates from university classrooms to start practicing his profession and faces great disappointment in realizing his lack of preparation; Therefore, it is necessary to propose policies that provide them with guarantees that protect their professional activity, honorability and prestige.
