The need for the development of a Legal Services Charter became crucial
following the apartheid legacy which left all sectors in the country
characterised by gross inequalities. The legal services sector and the legal
profession are typified by inaccessible and unequal distribution of services
and the need for transformation of the judicial system, legal profession and
legal services sector is eminent. The adoption of the legal services charter by
the legal profession is therefore a milestone for and historic event, as this
unity will lead to true transformation of the legal profession.
