The Ukrainian Bar: European Future or Back to the Sovietness?
The current Law No. 5076-VI «On the Bar and Practice of Law» defines, using the modern terminology of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, the “distinct” (unique, separate from others) public legal status of the Bar. It is a non-state public institution independent of state authorities, local self-government bodies, their officials and employees. The Bar's self-governing institution consists of all Ukraine advocates who have acquired the right to practice law.
