Specific features of disciplinary liability of lawyer for violation of the rules of lawyer ethics
Abstract
The article examines the features of the disciplinary liability of a lawyer for violating the rules of lawyer ethics, which is a necessary condition for obtaining public recognition and authority of the corporation. It is noted that these rules were made on the basis of disciplinary proceedings when considering misdemeanors of lawyers. Thear definition and classification of disciplinary offenses considered in a broad sense as a task of legal ethics, which is a code of personal conduct for lawyers in the performance of their professional duties and other rules of conduct.
It is important to note that the current law of Ukraine on the Bar and Advocate Activity in Article 34 contains a list of disciplinary offenses that are grounds for bringing a lawyer to disciplinary responsibility. Although this list is not exhaustive, it creates a general picture of those violations by a lawyer that entail disciplinary action.
Some situations and principles of bringing a lawyer to disciplinary responsibility for violating the rules of lawyer ethics have been studied. Moreover, it is determined that the current law of Ukraine on the Bar and Advocate Activity does not sufficiently protect the rights of individuals from dishonest lawyers, as it provides an opportunity to regain the status of a lawyer to those who were deprived of it.
It should be noted that the Ukrainian legal community has shown awareness and indifference to the problems of disciplinary liability of a lawyer. In its daily activities, the Ukrainian Bar Association embodies the fundamental innovations necessary for the radical renewal of the institution of disciplinary responsibility and the entire bar in particular. After all, its purpose is to improve the legal mechanism and the procedure for applying disciplinary liability in Ukraine. The author determined that the state of the modern bar needs urgent legislative renewal.
It is proposed to create an established mechanism of disciplinary liability of a lawyer for violation of the Rules of Ethics of Lawyers in the most protected way for a lawyer. Since, in practice, there are mostly latent and periodically open cases of legal nihilism, it is radically necessary to save the professional culture and true legal ethics.
