The practice of law in Peru
Legal Practice in Peru
The Peruvian legal market is small; however, the number of lawyers per 10,000 inhabitants is the same as in the United States: an average of 40 per 10,000 inhabitants.
A study determined that, of the 130,000 registered lawyers in Peru, more than half are located in Lima and Callao. After Lima, the five bar associations with the highest number of members are: La Libertad (8,268); Arequipa (8,133); Lambayeque (6,196); Cusco (6,080); and Puno (4,140).
Among the associations with fewer lawyers are the Ucayali Bar Association, with 787 members; the Tumbes Bar Association, with 410; and the Huancavelica Bar Association, with just 291 members.
The Lima Bar Association has 61,922 registered lawyers, of whom 42,000 are active. The Lima Norte Bar Association has 1,579 registered members, and the Lima Sur Bar Association has 420. Meanwhile, the El Callao Bar Association is home to 8,600 members, of whom only 1,800 are currently practicing.
Regarding the areas in which lawyers practice, the following graph illustrates:
As for the sectors where lawyers work, the private sector accounts for 40%, while the public sector represents 38%. The remaining 22% corresponds to lawyers who practice in both sectors.
Respondents also answered questions about the use of information technologies in legal practice. The results show an overwhelming 89% of lawyers who stay informed about legal norms via the Internet.
The legal profession implies not only a vocation but also an obligation. That obligation is to remain in constant adaptation and evolution. One definition of the term “practice” is: skill or experience acquired through the continued performance of an activity. For the legal field, we would add the capacity for adaptation and evolution.
As we pointed out on this web page, one of the maxims of our ancestors was: “Study, meditate, and produce.” Indeed, study does not end with university—it must continue to deepen in order to achieve the best results for those who seek legal advice. Meditation, in legal practice, is essential; it requires knowing how to listen, understand, see all angles of a matter, and possess the concentration and analytical capacity to offer an accurate opinion. To produce is to transform all that practice into legal counsel, regardless of the field in which one operates.
