PROFESSOR TERRY PRESENTS AT THE 2019 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF LEGAL REGULATORS MEETING
September 2019 — Professor Laurel S. Terry was part of an international panel that addressed the topic of Outside the Law Office: Where Do the Boundaries of Regulation Lie? during the September 2020 annual conference of the International Conference of Legal Regulators.
The September 2019 International Conference of Legal Regulators meeting at which Professor Terry spoke was held in Edinburg, Scotland. Professor Terry prepared a “Resources” document for the 2019 ICLR conference that included items related to the panel topics of lawyers’ separate business interests, social media, and lawyers in the gig economy. Professor Terry had previously spoken at the inaugural 2012 ICLR meeting in London and at ICLR annual conferences held in Toronto and Washington, D.C. In 2011, Professor Terry delivered (and subsequently published) a conference paper that highlighted the need to create an international organization that would bring together “day job” lawyer regulators. As Professor Terry later documented for The Bar Examiner, the UK organized the first-ever International Conference of Legal Regulators meeting in London in September 2012. The ICLR now seems well-established; the host of the 2020 ICLR meeting is the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, which is Illinois’ lawyer regulatory body.
