摘要

在我國律師倫理規範的相關法規中，是准許律師以後酬方式計收酬勞。但因為律師法第34條有律師不得受讓系爭標的物之限制，因此如果約定以訴訟標的之一定比例計付後酬是否合法就產生爭議。本文從相關法律條文及判例及函釋分析「訴訟標的之一定比例」以及「訴訟標的價額之一定比例」二者之不同，以釐清相關法律條文及實務見解其實並不矛盾。另外，律師倫理規範第35條第2項規定，不得就家事案件收取後酬，但因為家事事件法在民國101年6月1日實施，將家事事件之範圍擴增許多，所以律師倫理規範第35條之適用就產生困擾，本文就相關問題作介紹並在爾後修法的方向上提出建議。

The legal ethic rules in Taiwan allow lawyers to get contingent reward from clients. But according to Article 34 of the Lawyer Law, a lawyer is not allowed to get any part of the subject matter of the action he handled. So whether it's legal if a client agrees to pay reward to his lawyer based on the money value of the subject matter become an uncertain issue. And according to article 35 of the Lawyer's Ethic Rules, a lawyer is not allowed to get contingent reward from clients in Family Law actions. But the scope of family law is largely expanded in 2012, so what kind of family law case should still be applied article 35 of Lawyer's Ethic Rules become a disputed issue. This article discuss these two issues and bring some suggestions to modify relevant rules.
