**New Developments in Panama: An Example of Ethical Practices and Education for Lawyers**
In Panama, an important ethical aspect of legal education is observed. Organizers of meritorious practice check that the inclusion in the professional form does not create a conflict of interest, but rather a personal example, perseverance and diligence. This is based on the key principles of providing future advocates and judges, aimed at integrating the general principles of professional ethics into the professional consciousness.
Organizers emphasize the need for constant learning, which they consider as important as the professional norms, as well as social and life aspects. Specialists believe that the knowledge of the law should be without prejudice, and the personal example of specialists plays a key role in this. Therefore, in the program, education is actively introduced by cases, linked with real-world situations, so that students could not only master the technical aspects of the work, but also take responsibility for their own decisions.
"Attention does not distract — it focuses on the example, perseverance and diligence," — it is said at the conference. This understanding became the basis of the current discussion about how to not only compete, but also to establish a moral foundation for specialists. Experts also point out the need to expand the dialogue between lawyers and real-world practitioners, so that educational programs could correspond not only to the technical aspects of the work, but also to the moral and social standards.
The main value is attributed to public merit, such as court practice and internships with experienced attorneys. Such practices help students not only to consolidate the theoretical knowledge, but also to understand the importance of professional responsibility and to establish standards for professional behavior.
