This is the first comprehensive study of the law governing
professional misconduct by defense lawyers before the International
Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC's regulatory regime was introduced in
response to instances of misconduct experienced by other
international and domestic criminal courts. The book first turns to
how the ICC's forerunners - the International Criminal Tribunals
for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and the Special Court for
Sierra Leone - coped with misconduct, often resulting in
controversy. It also looks at the approaches which have evolved in
Germany and the United States, reflecting the different role of
defense lawyers in the civil and common law criminal justice
traditions. It offers a unique insight into the professional
responsibilities of defense lawyers within the various
international and national regimes. Offering practical guidance on
disciplinary systems and other sanctioning mechanisms, the book
also explores the inherent tension at the heart of the defense
lawyer's role: ensuring the human right to a fair trial and
therefore anticipating that they will be zealous advocates for
their clients, while, at the same time, expecting that they commit
themselves as officers of the court. (Series: Studies in
International and Comparative Criminal Law - Vol. 11)
