Conclusion

Abstract

Our voyage here has encompassed three countries, related to two starkly different legal systems (common law and civil law), and three professions that collaborate with each other at times, but oftentimes find themselves in conflicting roles in both the legal and social arenas. This voyage has maneuvered the oceans of three classical fields of law — corporate law, civil procedure and evidence law — and also sailed the sea of a relatively newer field, media law. In this concluding note I shall summarize the main observations and conclusions, and remark on the interaction between the professional privileges of the professions that have been discussed.
