While being a private organization, it has been entrusted with administrative authority from the state to regulate professional legal standards and to serve as part of the legal aid system for the public. The Council's responsibilities must be grounded in constitutional principles, especially those concerning the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms and the guarantee of equality before the law. However, disparities in economic status, education, and opportunities remain widespread, resulting in many disadvantaged individuals lacking access to justice. This necessitates state mechanisms to reduce inequality. The Lawyers Council thus has a crucial role in supporting legal equity by assisting underprivileged groups in line with constitutional values. This article examines the role of the Lawyers Council through a political science perspective, evaluating its internal organizational management and proposing appropriate strategies for enhancing its capacity to promote legal equality through various initiatives and the work of legal professionals. keywords a;b;c;d Lawyer, Legal Equality, Political Science, Law, Access to Justice publication_date 2025/06/20 2025/06/20 pdf_url https://insyma.org/proceedings/files/articles/Akepong Sirimahakul.pdf abstract_html_url https://insyma.org/proceedings/items/show/ https://insyma.org/proceedings/items/show/526 firstpage 1307 lastpage 1309 issn 3047-857X 3047-857X conference Proceedings of the International Symposium on Management (INSYMA) Proceedings of the International Symposium on Management (Volume 21, 2024) publisher_name Fakultas Bisnis dan Ekonomika, Universitas Surabaya Fakultas Bisnis dan Ekonomika, Universitas Surabaya no article 214 Volume 22 authors Akepong Sirimahakul, Chaturong Permrungruang, Tanawat Pisitchinda, Ratichai Rodthong, Petchara Charusakul Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
