A lawyer
Under the Constitution of Ukraine the Bar is a voluntary professional public association of lawyers. Its task is to protect rights and freedoms, to represent lawful interests of citizens of Ukraine, foreign citizens, stateless persons, legal entities and to render them other forms of legal assistance. Lawyers’ activity is regulated by the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law “On the Bar” and by other legislative acts of Ukraine, statutes of lawyers’ associations.
Any person, who has higher legal education, at least two years of work experience in the legal sphere, who knows the state language and has passed the qualification examination, has received the certificate of a lawyer and taken the Oath of Advocate of Ukraine, can be a lawyer (a defence lawyer).
A lawyer has no right to work in court, in state administration, in the Security Service of Ukraine, at the Prosecutor’s Office, in law-enforcement bodies or as a notary. A person who has a criminal record cannot become a defence lawyer.
Lawyers give advice on legal issues. They draw up various applications, complaints and other documents; make representation in courts and other state bodies; give legal help to enterprises, institutions and organizations and another legal assistance, provided for by the legislation.
Lawyers support their clients representing one of the parties in criminal and civil, economic and administrative trials, submitting evidence and their opinion on the questions of law in court. If their clients do not agree with the court decision, lawyers lodge appeals to higher courts.
The advocates take an active part in legal proceedings on housing, labour, property and other disputes, representing the interests of their clients.
Lawyers as it is provided for by the legislation of Ukraine may establish regional, national and international unions and associations to protect their social and professional rights and interests.
