                                       1. The skill - of (i) solve problems never faced  before, and (ii) of provide new solutions to old problems - is a necessity not only of  the global market, but, basically, it is a necessity of the human being  development.  But  what is it needed to have these skills? What kind of professional is  able to provide new solutions to old issues and solve new problems,  which ones, naturally, are more and more complex over the time and the  globalization process?  The first thing which we think is that this kind of professional is  an expert, basically, because (i) he knows, in a deep way, the concepts of a specific area of the human  knowledge, which, by growing up in a geometrical proportion, demands  investment of time; and, consequently, because (ii) by this  knowledge, the expert can connect the concepts and take business  decisions - aiming a new solution to an old problem or the solution of  a problem never faced before - faster than the person that need learn,  for the first time, the concepts of a specific area. Nemo Nascitur Artifex (no one  born with knowledge of an art). 2. Nevertheless,  the extreme expertise can be blind. And when this happens? When the  expert don't understands that there is a mutual relation between the  different areas of the human knowledge. When the expert don't  understand that one area of knowledge can modify another area.  On  the contemporaneous world, more and more are needed professionals that  can understand two or more areas and the specialties inside these  areas; are needed professionals whose can establish new  multidimensional concepts, or the understanding of the facts by as many  sides as possible. 2.1.  Let's take simple examples. First, an example related to different  areas inside the Law Area. After, an example related to different areas  of the human knowledge.  2.1.1.  In advocacy, is not difficult observe, according to the extreme  fragmentation between the different technique of Law (which has its  genesis at the own pedagogic of legal education), that most  professionals have difficulty to realizes the effects that their own  actions, in a specific area of expertise, generates on other areas. An  operation of corporate reestructuring, for example, will be more  efficient e more secure according with the degree of knowledge in Tax  Law which has the Corporate Lawyer who structured the operation. But  this degree of knowledge depends, previously, of knowledge of how the  areas of Law are related between them, what are the connection points,  what are its foundations. 2.2.2.  The Contractual Theory of the Political Philosophy is the other  example. The concepts of representation, collective entity, checks and  balances and sovereign power, that are concepts of the Contractual  Theory, are powerful instruments to work with Corporate Law,  respectively, to work with the issues of pierce the corporate veil,  intra-corporate conflicts, governance corporate and control power. 
 2.2.3. The Theory of Rational Choice and the Game Theory, additionally,  are examples of good instruments to be acquired for negotiation, which  is the soul of the lawyer, individual who works with the skill to  convince.
 3. The  professional which is capable to give new solutions to old problems and  solve new problems, is not just a legal specialist, but, before, is a  person which has a solid formation on Theory of Law and others  fundamental areas of the human knowledge, such as Economics, Logic and  Philosophy.   _____________________  RDC 07.18.2008 – actualized at 04.04.2009, 04.07.2009  and 07.31.2009 |
