• Abstract: As part of freedom of speech, lawyers’ extra-court speech should be a natural right that accompanies the birth of this profession and is inalienable. Restrictions on it should only be limited to not violating the same freedom enjoyed by others. An environment that tolerates lawyers’ extra-court speech helps shape civil society and promote press freedom. The legal basis for the legitimacy of lawyers’ extra-court speech is mainly the value presupposition of the theory of original evil, the principle of “rule of law” and the cost-benefit analysis of law and economics. The regulation of lawyers’ extra-court speech should follow the principle of minimum regulation. As long as the speech does not exceed the necessary obligation boundaries, ethical boundaries and group boundaries, no more restrictions should be imposed on it. 律师发表庭外言论这一行为，作为言论自由的一部分，应是伴随这一职业产生而享有的天然权利，是不可剥夺的，对其的限制应仅以不违反他人所享有同样自由的权利为限。一个包容律师庭外言论的环境有助于塑造公民社会，推动新闻自由。律师庭外言论正当性的法理基础主要为性恶论的价值预设、“法治国”原则和法经济学上的成本—收益分析。对律师发表庭外言论的规制应遵循最低限度规制原则，只要言论不逾越必要的义务边界、伦理边界和群己边界，则不应对其课以更多的限制。
