| | DCBA Brief, June 1999 Issue - The Betrayed Profession |
 | | The profession of law as I recognize it has no place for the lawyer who in the interests of "winning" will seek knowingly to hoodwink the court. | | | Historically in the United States, members of the legal profession were the leaders of their communities and of the country. | | | Nor does the profession of law as I recognize it have a place for the lawyer who sells his conscience as well as his services to the client that pays him. |

| | Profession (religious) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | According to existing law, solemn profession annuls a marriage previously contracted, but not yet consummated, and creates a impediment to any future marriage; and also renders the professed religious incapable, without the permission of the Holy See, of acquiring or of possessing and disposing of property. | | | Generally speaking, simple profession does not prevent a religious from retaining or acquiring property; the administration and disposition of property alone are forbidden. | | | Solemn profession implies a reciprocal engagement between the religious and his order, which undertakes to maintain him, and treat him as a member of its household; except in case of special privilege, it can dismiss a professed religious in canonical form only for incorrigible persistence in some grave public fault. |

| | Redefining a Profession, Richard A. Danner |
| | Because librarianship is not a regulated or licensed profession, | | | For him, the defining elements of professionalism are: fidelity to ethics and integrity; service with competence, dedication, and independence; education as a means for growth and replenishment; civility and respect for authority; and commitment to improving the justice system and advancing the rule of law. | | | Disputes over jurisdiction can be settled in any of several ways ranging from successful claims for full jurisdiction over an area of work (e.g., the licensing mechanisms that control the practice of law and medicine) to more limited settlement mechanisms that divide jurisdiction over segments of the area. |

| | Ethics in Legal Education and the Legal Profession |
| | These involve diversity within the profession, moral responsibilities of lawyers, access to legal services, and public accountability for professional regulation. | | | One is the bar's highly selective historical memory--what Marc Galanter terms "the golden age of legal nostalgia." In fact, on certain measures of professionalism, not everything is getting worse. | | | If specialized associations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers certified lawyers who comply with such standards, the consequence could be a more efficient market in reputation and a more effective reward structure for ethical performance. |

| | Legal Profession |
| | The legal profession is the concern not only of regulators such as bar associations, legislatures, and courts, but also of moral and political philosophers, sociologists, historians, and novelists. | | | On the other hand, the duties of lawyers may be consonant with a particular understanding of ordinary morality. | | | Courts may defer to the organized bar understanding of its rights and obligations, or they may impose additional or even conflicting duties on lawyers. |

| | The Accounting Profession in the 20th Century |
| | The American state-based approach to regulation of the profession was supplemented in the 1930s with the passage of the Federal securities acts giving birth to the Securities and Exchange Commission. | | | Each of the large firms testified at the hearings on its own behalf, expressing views that did not present a united front. | | | It is noteworthy that most of the founders' early attention was directed toward persuading state legislatures to enact laws providing for the examination and certification of public accountants and restricting the performance of opinion audits to those that successfully passed the examination and became certified. |

| | Medical profession? What medical profession? - Other Medical Essays - Peter Morrell |
| | Thus, one might conclude, that even today, the concept of 'medical profession' as a uniform entity is still to some degree an inaccurate and deceptive term, if not somewhat nebulous and often inapplicable. | | | "...medieval England lacked a medical profession...the term 'medical profession' in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries is deceptive, sinceit ignores the diversity of types of practitioners, the lack of social consensus about standards of conduct, and the domination...by people who acted only part-time." [3] | | | In its broadest sweep, it is also still a mixture of many different types and grades, some still awaiting legal sanction and professional status, others only having won the same comparatively recently after long hard struggle. |
