this question we must ask ourselves lawyers. Because the proposed Legal Services Act and seemingly unstoppable roll slowly towards us.

But long ago they are indeed among us, this legal service ...

These legal services do something for many years - but under the hand, because something was yet illegal and violated the Law on Legal Advice. Foreign legal affairs could be business-like concern only by lawyers or by any person to whom an authorization was granted.

(Lenin logs)
Inspired by the writings of Karl Marx, Lenin Trier colleagues rises among the ruins of socialism from his grave and calls us to:
"Your lawyers is united against the Legal Services Act ! Let's not allow the "capital" advises the workers to the citizens! You are the only way out of mental slavery! "
Lenin knew in 1913 that the capital of the oppressed people, ruined the small owners, creating an army of unemployed lawyers.
Derelict With so much political demagogic propaganda we briefly to ponder and come to the conclusion that there is already so bad does not come.
We are lawyers, we have learned it has always been us not to make any laws, but to apply the new laws and coming to terms with it and after all we have seen the signs of the times and now advertise with the slogan:
confidence is good - better
attorney is - and it is already doing enough and we dismiss Lenin the old grouch.
(Looking into the distant future)
who lives in view of the future is automatically connected with the question of the consequences.
The Latins had a saying familiar, which is still today at the Leipzig Old Town Hall:
"Quidquid agis, prudente agas, et respice finem"
(what you always do you, do it as and think of the consequences),
To Us to convince now that it is not so bad to come, so we venture a look into the crystal ball. What is the legal advice in 2015?
The fog in the ball rises:
In 2015, the legal advice is revolutionizing the hairdressers advise focusing on family law, legal hostess accompanies the client in the daily operations and for those where it should go fast's "Check and Drive" the Drive In for the legal advice .
The number of lawyers has declined dramatically. The remaining have like a lot of training in a kind of sect, found the "witnesses Justitia" in order to be eventually banned by the Commission of the free legal counsel because the lawyers to handle columns of the citizens at the front door trouble, "May we with you about the ?.!

(On the trip with the times)
But we swim so do not even against the spirit of the times?
Our society can be quite accurate with the quote of the Roman comic poet Plautus describes: Homo homini lupus
Man is wolf to man.
Since cheated, tricked, lied gemauschelt and what it's worth. Because of the stinginess is cool, the rule breaking and the cool selfishness sporty. Admired the moneyed aristocracy, the decadent luxury - the question where does the money - profits were made at whose expense - fraud, drugs, cheating - not interested. Not a bad conscience, but because you just do what all do! Always his own advantage in mind was the motto:
"I, me, me"
"The end justifies the means"
"The Honest is the fall guy."
"honesty is the best policy, but cheating is faster."
firm principles and values seem to dissolve.
What can we do to ensure that the overall level of our ethical standard equipment ever goes down and we wake up one morning in a total wolf society?
(proposal)
this, we must concretely reflect on our values as counsel to then carry out and communicate clearly.
It's not just about the quality of legal advice to cancel out
It's not just about the adequacy of price and show performance
It goes to show also about what is missing the advice of legal service providers.
The opportunity for every citizen of this more nuanced approach, we must create.
(professional ethics and professional ethics)
The work of advocates is not a "job", not a fleeting, superficial, and the exchangeable power.
The Council in passing by the Financial Services does not require strong bonds, either between persons or to the thing itself
with genuine legal advice, the self and the professional ethics of a lawyer all that has very little in common.
For a real profession is still a whole lot more. The love of the job, which exist in the legal profession or, indeed, it is self-evident. Professional is always a little appeal, and thus a close connection to what you do. Learning a profession and its exercise has a lot to do with values experience. Especially, the profession of lawyer is a not in the lap, but you just have to learn from scratch. These include in addition to two state examination, a large knowledge and experience, unwavering commitment to quality, discipline, stability, enduring frustration, ability to self-motivation, flexibility, training will and much, much more. You can reach all this just with a healthy Portion ethics!
legal services was not sufficient.
We are brave, innovative and committed to working to connect our clients - this show and thus change the overall market environment is our task.
Who can something have a solid basis for confidence in their own strength. solve the confidence of lawyers in their own strength, pride in their own abilities, self-confidence and strength for the market positioning and the ability of the most complex problems of clients outstanding: From the perspective of the new legal service providers have a very dangerous thing.
Together we must find us and against immoral Besides consulting and business practices dependent decided to say no. Just that, ladies and gentlemen, is in the tradition of the lawyers' self-government and organizations. In the long run you are not alone, but together, in the professional community, one can achieve a lot.
too, is part of the professional ethics of lawyers.
morality and ethics are our lawyers, particularly in the face of the new RDG strategic importance. Since the ethical and moral principles are also subject to subjective classifications, and not every lawyer all the moral principles of his professional acting career with his comrades deal must now face each of us the question:
"As for me personally ethics of the lawyer?"
(final word)
is also here today of the age-old question of how to because you want from being to come, can not be answered universally applicable. It was Hans-Magnus Enzensberger, who answers the three questions Kant's famous for our present way:
· What we can know: Not exactly!
· What should we do: stay cool and somewhat decent! What we hope
· May: Not sure!
Jürgen Habermas speaks of the "new complexity". They endure, and as in it's own way in his appeal lawyer to find, remains the responsibility of each one of us.
Finally, one thing remains quite certain:
lawyers and law remain on the market!
