Discussions about the "flooding" of the legal profession have focused on jurisprudence and legal culture (how people resolve disputes); accessibility to legal education and the acceleration in the number of law schools; social and cultural factors (professional status), and structural entry barriers to the professional. This paper analyzes the reality of the growing number of lawyers in Israel with reference to an additional factor: the most extensive rules regarding Unauthorized Practice of Law, strictly guarded by the Israeli Bar Association. As law had become an accepted forum for resolving private and public disputes, any kind of activity entailing provision of legal advice, legal documentation or representation is restricted to lawyers only. Consequently, entry into the profession becomes the only way to take part and become engaged in the field of legal services.
Los debates sobre la “inundación” de la abogacía se han centrado en la jurisprudencia y la cultura legal (en la forma de resolver disputas); la accesibilidad a la educación en derecho y el aumento del número de escuelas de derecho; los factores sociales y culturales (estatus profesional), y las barreras de acceso estructurales a la profesión. Este artículo analiza la realidad del número creciente de abogados en Israel, haciendo referencia a un factor adicional: la normativa más amplia relacionada con la práctica no autorizada del derecho, vigilada estrechamente por la Asociación de Abogados de Israel. Está asumido que el derecho es el foro en el que resolver disputas privadas y públicas, por lo que cualquier actividad que implique la provisión de consejo legal, documentación legal, o representación, está limitada únicamente a los abogados. De esta forma, acceder a la profesión se convierte en la única forma de participar e implicarse en el campo de los servicios legales.
