Abstract

Присвячено актуальній науковій тематиці професійної діяльності інституту адвокатури, обумовленої характером суспільно-політичних змін, що відбулися в історії українського народу за роки незалежності. Здійснено аналіз і порівняння особливостей міжнародних та вітчизняних нормативних актів, у яких прописано моральні засади діяльності інституту адвокатури. Доведено доцільність їх впровадження у вітчизняне право. The issues raised in the research result from the nature of social and political changes which happened in the history of Ukrainian people during the period of independence. Current condition of the Ukrainian law requires improvement through adopting European human rights practices. Theoretical issues of the role of advocacy as an institute in justice administration are still poorly studied. Therefore, it is required to research the essence of this institute, specific definition of legal and professional grounds of its functioning. Based on this research, it is worthwhile mentioning that in comparison with international and European regulatory documents, which regulate behavior of advocates while performing their professional tasks and include moral principles of their practice, Ukrainian national legislation lacks obligatory standards of moral principles of advocacy practice. Therefore, international and European standards in this sphere must be applied in Ukraine as well. An important aspect of implementation of international and European standards into Ukrainian national legislation and their application to the practical activities of Ukrainian advocacy is that it contributes both to development of the law-governed state and improvement of the image of our country in Europe and worldwide. Thus it is appropriate to continue the study of advocacy practice standards, which to a great extent depend on the way of thinking of certain society, attitudes of scientific elite and opinions of lead specialists in the sphere of law and advocacy practice. The article has gained its objective, particularly in summarizing specific features of international and Ukrainian regulatory acts that include provisions for moral principles of advocacy practice.
