CƠ CHẾ ĐIỀU CHỈNH ĐẠO ĐỨC NGHỀ LUẬT Ở VIỆT NAM: TIẾP CẬN THỂ CHẾ VÀ ĐỊNH HƯỚNG CẢI CÁCH

Abstract

The content of this article focuses on analyzing the regulatory mechanism of legal professional ethics in Vietnam from the perspective of modern institutions and international comparison. Based on a theoretical overview, the author establishes a four-component model that constitutes an effective mechanism for regulating legal ethics: setting standards, supervisory institutions, procedures for handling violations, and mechanisms of accountability. The author also points out that the current system in Vietnam still leans toward a soft-law orientation, lacking independent institutions, with limited transparency and weak social feedback. Furthermore, the author identifies the underlying causes in the legacy of administrative formalism, insufficient theoretical foundations, and inadequate societal pressure. On this basis, the author proposes and analyzes in detail the necessary solutions, such as developing a cross-sectoral code of conduct, partially codifying standards, establishing an ndependent ethics committee, strengthening social feedback, and reforming training toward case-based approaches.
