The Lawyers Council of Thailand and Its Role in Promoting Legal Equality in Society
Abstract/Description
The Lawyers Council of Thailand is a statutory body established under the Lawyers Act B.E. 2528 (1985). While being a private organization, it has been entrusted with administrative authority from the state to regulate professional legal standards and to serve as part of the legal aid system for the public. The Council's responsibilities must be grounded in constitutional principles, especially those concerning the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms and the guarantee of equality before the law. However, disparities in economic status, education, and opportunities remain widespread, resulting in many disadvantaged individuals lacking access to justice. This necessitates state mechanisms to reduce inequality. The Lawyers Council thus has a crucial role in supporting legal equity by assisting underprivileged groups in line with constitutional values. This article examines the role of the Lawyers Council through a political science perspective, evaluating its internal organizational management and proposing appropriate strategies for enhancing its capacity to promote legal equality through various initiatives and the work of legal professionals.
