The scope of lawyers' freedom of expression in the media and before the courts
The Commission will examine the extent of protection afforded to lawyers' freedom of expression when they speak on behalf of a client in the media or in court in various European countries, the United States, Central America, Africa and Asia. Is this freedom of expression being strengthened? Is there a privilege that extends to external communications? Can this privilege be limited by the lawyer's code of conduct. By the law? By the interests of third parties?
