Joseph G. Miller and William C. Becker Center for Professional ResponsibilityThis article is a companion piece to an article Professor Terry published earlier this year in which she examined global legal profession networks. Professor Terry’s Georgetown article focuses on a subset of global legal profession networks, which are the global networks of lawyer regulation stakeholders. Her article examines the growth in global lawyer regulation stakeholder networks and the methods that stakeholders use to connect with one another. It illustrates how U.S. lawyer regulation stakeholders are connected to global networks, such as the International Conference of Legal Regulators, whose October 2020 virtual meeting was sponsored by the Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission, as well as global connections within lawyer regulation stakeholder groups such as the NCBE, CCJ, NOBC, ABA, AALS, APRL, ICLR, IBA, and IAOLE.
