She stresses that, although legal services benefit economic growth, innovation and education, the rule of law faces continuous threats, even in consolidated democracies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this regard, it urges lawyers to be more active in promoting citizen education on the importance of justice, improving access to legal services and maintaining high ethical standards within the profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also highlights the need to close the perception gap about the profession, with only 54% of the population believing in the positive impact of lawyers, according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"Boton-block_138f720f08c5a3caad3abaf3413b626d\" class=\"Boton\">\n\n            <a class=\"primaryCta scaleFromLeft rotateIcon\"
