Abstract
The Legal Services Board (LSB) and the nine frontline regulators of legal services are required by the Legal Services Act 2007 to promote the regulatory objective of supporting the constitutional principle of the rule of law. Four of the nine frontline regulators translate this statutory obligation into express duties for the lawyers they regulate. In this report, we explore: • what the rule of law means (and the debates surrounding its content), • what the LSB and the frontline regulators say (or do not say) about the rule of law, and • what lawyer conduct we think constitutes a commitment to the rule of law.
