نگاهی متفاوت به دانش حقوق و صنعت حقوق
A different outlook to the science of law and the industry of law
A. The importance of debate
A seriously controversial debate challenging politicians and sociologists is the real difference between the nature of law and its practical impacts in human life. A simple search on the scope of sciences presents that law is categorized under human sciences. Irrespective of the importance of human sciences, the majority of people define industry extracted from natural sciences. Meanwhile, industry and its wealthy treasures have been achieved in the result of natural sciences. Nevertheless, social sciences are to give individual and social services to people in order to live better, even if they do not have any money or assets.

While they are prohibited from using any kinds of advertisement to show their skills attracting people, they prefer that their mindsets, skills, knowledge and successful cases have been presented by social media. It is noticeable that the organization of IBA chooses an ignoring approach for neglecting to regard strictly forbidding rule about advertisement. IBA accepts it as unavoidable consequences of growing stage of online life. It is observed in some countries like Canada, Australia and some African countries as well. The main reason is about the principal role of the online activities asserted as result of current legal works advised since almost two decades ago. Therefore, this is an obviously mutual way to meet all lawyers and clients’ needs. Meanwhile, barristers and solicitors’ jobs have been promoted by such a new-found approach. They are able to spend more time for their works. In conclusion, Start-Ups cause a huge jumping movement to make high fortune in legal fields.
