Legal Professions in Russia
Legal professions are very popular in Russia. The number of people who
are studying law has increased over the past decade. Legal professionals study,
develop and apply law. Usually, for someone choosing a career in law it is
required to get a law degree .
Legal professions are very interesting, diverse and quite necessary for
regulation of social relations in the state. A law graduate can choose his/ her
place of work and occupation from a number of possible ones.
They can work at legal offices, in the court system, at the Prosecutor's
Office, at the Bar, or at notary offices. A law graduate can be a legal adviser at
an enterprise, a notary at a notary office; an investigator at the Prosecutor's
Office or can serve in the police, tax service or corrections.
78
There is much work to do everywhere. An advocate gives legal assistance
to citizens: advocates counsel people, draft legal documents, represent plaintiffs
or defendants in court. An advocate defends the accused, proves innocence by
evidence. A prosecutor at the Prosecutor's office prosecutes the accused, proves
guilt by evidence. A judge administers justice, conducts the trial, sums up
evidence, passes a just sentence. A notary certifies documents or their copies,
witnesses official acts: wills, commercial papers, etc. An investigator
investigates and solves crimes. A police officer enforces laws, keeps public
order and takes legal measures to law-breakers.
Many lawyers are employed by law offices of enterprises, ministries and
agencies as in-house counsel. These legal advisers represent their single and
permanent “client” – their organization. They support and counsel it, provide
expertise in administrative, employment, tax, insurance, contract, international
and other legal issues, draft documents and contracts, take part in negotiations,
deals and lawsuits.
Legal careers also include teaching law and academic research. In Russia
there are a lot of institutions of higher learning that train specialists in law.
