Right holder illustration Matycin Valery / Tass Image Caption. The lawyer is not the first time disciplinary recovery for the first time.

Moscow lawyer deprived Mark Faigina status for the use of obscene vocabulary. He was accused of unethical behavior, but the lawyer himself defended the hope of Savchenko and Pussy Riot, considers the decision to politically and is going to appeal.

Faigin wrote about the decision of the Council of the Chamber of the City Chamber of Lawyers in Twitter.

The lawyer Stalin Gurevich confirmed this information to the Russian BBC service, who filed a feasy complaint. She demanded to deprive his status for violating the norms of the Code of Professional Ethics of a lawyer, namely, for the use of obscene vocabulary to their colleagues and their customers.

"The status of a lawyer was discontinued," said Gurevich, who was present at a meeting of the Council of the Chamber. - Despite all the public statements of Feigin that this is a political action and that he was pressure, I want to emphasize that this is a lie. "

"It is deprived of status because an inappropriate manifests itself in the network, I'll call the lawyer community. He was already warned about the inadmissibility of such behavior, but he did not return," Gurevich BBC said.

  • Lawyer Mark Feigin allowed to leave abroad
  • Faigin's lawyer denies that he became unbelievable because of the piano
  • What is more important - politics or ethics?

The lawyer agreed that the statements of Feigin about Gurevich and one of its clients are incompatible with the lawyer status. The lawyer himself believes that in this way, he wants to withdraw from the case of the spying of the Ukrainian journalist Roman Sushchenko.

Faigina version

"I was deprived of the status for three tweets relating to the ball," he said to Interfax and promised to appeal the decision of the lawyer's chamber in court.

In July 2017, the radio station "says Moscow" Feigin, according to Gurevich, said that her client, a Ukrainian journalist and blogger Anatoly Shary, "takes place in the case of pedophilia."

Faigin spoke "Kommersant", which has documents confirming his words about the ball in his arms. In court he did not introduce them, emphasized Gurevich.

"Soon after contacting the court, Faigin in social networks broke out in my address and to my client's address with the flow of insults and Maternaya Brahi," Gurevich said "Kommersant". After that, she appealed to the Qualification Commission of the City Law Chamber.

In the first appeal, this complaint did not become this complaint. Rejected the complaint I. investigative committee Russia - Rudu Gurevich wrote a statement on the involvement of Feigin to criminal responsibility under the reference article. After that, according to Gurevich, Feigin began to insult her again in social networks, and her second statement was accepted.

Right holder illustration Sivkov Petr / Tass Image Caption. Faigin defended the hope of Savchenko, which was condemned for 22 years in case of involvement in the death of Russian journalists, and then pardoned

"Everything that happened I consider how an attempt to bring me out of the process in the case of the Ukrainian journalist Roman Sushchenko, accused russian authorities In espionage, "Faigin insisted in a conversation with the" merchant ".

As the Council of the Law Chamber of Moscow considered, Feigin still violated the Code of Professional Ethics of a lawyer, for which deprived of the status of a lawyer.

This is not the first penalty against Feigin. In August last year, he, together with another lawyer, Ilya Novikov, with whom they worked on the case of Nadezhda Savchenko, received warnings in social networks from the law chamber of Moscow.

Novikov complained about Feigin and addressed to deprive his status, but the qualification commission voted then against. Novikov, like Gurevich, believes that Faigin violates the Code of Professional Ethics of Lawyers, swearing in social networks.

The rules for the behavior of lawyers on the Internet, regulating their behavior in social networks, were adopted by the Federal Chamber of Lawyers just a year ago. In them, for example, it is said that "when establishing contacts and communication" on the Internet, a lawyer should show a "characteristic profession restraint, caution and correctness."

Faigin's lawyer is most famous in the case of the Pussy Riot group, the participants of which received a two-year-old colony for punk prayers in the Church of Christ the Savior. In addition, he defended the military journalist Arkady Babchenko and the Ukrainian military hope of Savchenko (now the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, now she is in custody).

No matter how sad it does not sound, and the competitiveness now comes down to the principle of "the goal justifies the funds." Compete with those who should solve their problems maximum in civil proceedings, and even for the "tube of the world."

I often have to face the situation when the composition is obvious, and the evidence cannot be collected differently as an excited criminal case, and the "topic" seems to be not for the investigator "from God" - will figure it away with her, but they will not achieve the arousal .

Against the background of such situations, the case is immediately noticeable, the existence of which recognized in 2006 in 2006. Y. Chaika.

The main signs of registered criminal cases are known to all practicing lawyers:

  1. Estimated excitement by articles small, or easy category of gravity;
  2. Full denial of defense petitions by lichornelians;
  3. Delaying the investigation to the universal deadlines - over the year at least;
  4. The appointment of long, absolutely nothing affecting expertise;
  5. Attempts to find all sorts of sins of a person involved, having nothing to do with the Fabulus of the investigation;
  6. Full turning into the personal life of the person involved in the full complex of ORM (in the hope of finding at least something, for which it can really be criminally liable or blackmailing);
  7. Election in relation to the defendant "swore" his business activity of preventive measures, widespread use of various forced deliveries, etc.;
  8. Displaying subscriptions for non-disclosure in personars, defenders;
  9. Active estimation of a person involved by manual media.
The complete absence of the composition of the crime, and, often, and immediately "unsuitable" for a specific composition of the subject - the distinctive features of such "business mutants", which emerge for the shushukani "of their people", Contracting "Friend" against their opponents "to death". There are not only money in such cases, but also the vulnerable pride of the "customers" and a big question that is terrible.

Successfully carrying out protection on a similar case together with three more defenders, we had to face the situation in which we are about the fact that in his opinion such a behavior of lawyers does not suit him, and then switched to the immediate punishment of "revocious resistors."

The investigator in the Department of the Russian Federation for Co. was aimed at taking measures to eliminate the circumstances that contributed to the commission of a crime (other violations of the law)!

Yes, yes, this is exactly the case, and not otherwise it called its Paskville Committee. Paskvil describes the terrible and gentle, according to the investigation, the behavior of four defenders. You can even read it even after the nonilenka Y. Gashek about the brave soldier Schwek, because there is something to laugh there. Some formulations will delight you to tears, other expressions, perhaps will cause a mental laughter, but the picture will be scary. The terrible on what categories operate and reflect on people who pushed the uniform almost 15 years.

The management of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation in the Kemerovo region "divert" the process of brain activity (or vice versa) of the investigation and was developed by the submission of the termination of the status of a lawyer, and in relation to immediately four defenders, none of which had never had time to stratum ...

Yes, things ... a serious approach is now to us, Comes! After studying the text of the presentation, it is not exactly funny. Him, most likely, signed without looking, without the slightest attempts at least somehow critically sort out the arguments of the above Paskville. Moreover, the management of the Russian Federation according to CO clearly did not study the material attached to Paskvil at 59 sheets.

Personally, the investigation had the following claims:

  1. I delayed the timing of the familiarization - in 10 days I got acquainted with the case of only 9, and only two weekends (we probably wanted to be four), and in the laziness I got acquainted during this time, only with eight volumes completely and four volumes partially.
  2. He stated the petition going into a section with the will of the principal. (True, the principal himself does not think so, and on the contrary).
  3. Being a lawyer in agreement (that is, the face that is invited only by the principal himself, and neither by the investigator), together with his principal, was late for 30 minutes to fulfill the requirements of Ch.ch. 4, 5 tbsp. 217 Code of Criminal Procedure, as a result of which the investigation and three other defenders were worried and worried (I think that only the investigator was worried).
It should be noted that the Qualification Commission of the Advocacy Chamber of the Kemerovo region approached the decision of the issue exclusively weighted. At her meeting, I was given the opportunity to completely refute all the arguments of opponents and use the services of the representative -, the finding of which next to me in me is complete confidence that everything that happens no more than another "little life trifle" and all the alerts are unnecessary.

Already in about 10 - 15 minutes after our argument was heard, the qualification commission ceased to be proceedings, i.e. limited to the stage provided for by paragraph 2 of Art. 22 KPEA. With regard to my comrades, the Commission made similar solutions.

With the realization that "the power in truth", I and my representative - left the meeting and already less than half an hour got "from the fire and in the Hollow" - in history, which, our colleague,

And what about the criminal case? - you ask. Terminated on July 15, 2015 by paragraph 2 of Part 1 of Art. 24 Code of Criminal Procedure - for the lack of a crime. With the term of investigation of about 18 months ... under Art. 315 of the Criminal Code!

The first deputy prosecutor of the region was returned to his committees twice in a row, and those from the regional administration, in order to preserve the indicators of the regional structure, sent it to the silently killed "to Earth." There he and the road. Buried. Rehabilitation ahead.

And from subscriptions for not disclosing data preliminary investigation We are our principal and his defenders a consequence of "on Earth" freed. We disclose with a pure heart!

In accordance with the Federal Law of May 31, 2002 N 63-FZ "On advocacy and advocacy in the Russian Federation" (hereinafter referred to as the law on the lawyer), the lawyer is a person who has received the status of a lawyer and the right to exercise lawyers in the prescribed manner . The lawyer is an independent professional legal advisor.

The status of a lawyer may be discontinued in accordance with Art. 17 of the law on the lawyer. The main legal consequence of the termination of the status of a lawyer is the impossibility of implementing a citizen of advocacy. The list of grounds for which the status of a lawyer is terminated is exhaustive, which makes it possible to exclude the possibility of depriving the status for other reasons. The face, the status of a lawyer of which is terminated, is not entitled to carry out advocacy, as well as occupy elected positions in the lawyer's bodies. The lawyer has the right to stop his status on his own request. To do this, it is enough for him to submit a written application for the termination of the lawyer's status. The application is submitted to the council of the lawyer of the subject of the Russian Federation, to the regional register of which information about this lawyer is made. The status of a lawyer ceases from the moment of the relevant decision of the Council of the Law Chamber. However, since in this case, the basis of the cessation of the status of a lawyer is his personal desire, then before deciding by the Council, the lawyer has the right to change his desire and withdraw the application.

The death of a citizen is the basis for the termination of his lawyer status.
Death certificate is a proper document, on the basis of which the Council of the Law Chamber decides on the termination of the status of a lawyer. The conclusion of the qualification commission is not required in this case. The absence of a lawyer at the place of permanent residence and the unknown of his stay within five years is the basis for the ads of the lawyer who deceased, and if he disappeared under the circumstances, threatening death or giving reason to assume his death from a certain accident - within six months. The order of the Citizen's announcement is dead regulated by Art. 45 Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The day of the death of a citizen declared deceased, the day of entry into force of the decision of the court on the declaration of his deceased. However, the court can recognize the day of the death of a citizen's day of his alleged death if he was missing under circumstances threatening death or giving reason to assume his death from a certain accident. Citizen's announcement legal consequences equal to natural death. If a citizen declared dead, it turns out to be alive, it is still legality and legal capacity.

The status of a lawyer is terminated in connection with the commission of a act, the mind of the honor and dignity of a lawyer or detractory the authority of the lawyer.

Another reason for which the lawyer can be deprived of the status of a lawyer is non-fulfillment or improper performance by the lawyer of its professional duties to the principal, as well as non-fulfillment of solutions of the lawyer's authorities adopted within their competence (sub. 1, paragraph 2 of Art. 17). Persons who have an outstanding or unventing conviction for committing a deliberate crime are not entitled to qualify for the acquisition of the status of a lawyer. At the same time, a person can be recognized by the court that entered into legal force guilty of a deliberate crime after the acquisition of such status. Then in accordance with the sub. 5 p. 1 Art. 17 It will be an unconditional basis for stopping the status of a lawyer. The conclusion of the qualification commission is not required in this case. Paragraph 2 10 of the law obliges a bidder on the status of a lawyer to submit documents to the Qualification Commission containing the necessary information about the lawyer and its activities. Moreover, the presentation of unreliable information can serve as a basis for refusing to admit a challenger to the qualification exam. However, the inaccuracy of the information presented in the Qualification Commission can be revealed already after assigning the status of a lawyer. In this case, the status of a lawyer is subject to termination on the basis of submission. 5 p. 2 Art. 17. The unreliability of information must be identified documented.
Subparagraph 5 of paragraph 1 of Art. 17 provides for a self-foundation for termination of a lawyer's status to identify the circumstances provided for by paragraph 2 of Art. 9 of the law (availability of incapacity or limited legal capacity, as well as an outstanding or unmanned criminal record for the commission of an intentional crime). Unlike the grounds provided for by sub. 2 and 4, in sub. 5 p. 1 Art. 17 We are talking about identifying listed circumstances that existed earlier and were not known when providing a person's status person. Accordingly, the grounds provided for by sub. 2 and 4, should be applied after assigning a lawyer status, i.e. They appear in the process of implementing advocacy.

The authority to make a decision on the termination of the status of a lawyer was provided to the law to the Council of the Law of the Law of the Directory of the Russian Federation, to the regional register of which information was made about this lawyer. Deciding on the termination of the status of a lawyer, the Council must establish the presence of documented grounds listed in paragraph 1 of Art. 17. Required documents Must be decorated in the manner prescribed by the relevant legislation. It should be paid to the fact that in some cases, the Council of the Law Chamber may terminate the status of a lawyer only on the basis of the conclusion of the qualification commission adopted in accordance with its competence. We are talking about the termination of the status of a lawyer in connection with the commission of a deed, the disclosure of the honor and dignity of a lawyer or the fracturing authority of the lawyer, as well as for non-fulfillment or inappropriate performance by the lawyer of its professional duties to the principal or for the non-fulfillment of solutions of the lawyer's authorities.

The Council of the Law Chamber within 10 days from the date of their decision to terminate the status of a lawyer is obliged to notify the person in writing, the status of a lawyer of which is terminated, the law education in which the lawyer carried out its activities and the territorial body of the Ministry of Justice of Russia, the leading registry, which contains information about this lawyer. In the event of a lawyer's death, the specified notification in its address is not sent. Not applicable and notification of relatives of the lawyer.

On a 10-day period from the date of receipt of the relevant notice of the Council of the Law of the Law, the territorial body of the Ministry of Justice of Russia issues the disposal of the introduction to the Regional Register of Information on the Termination of the Lawyer status. Based on the specified order, information on the termination of the lawyer status is made to the regional registry. After that, the lawyer is notified of the introduction of appropriate information to the regional register and the need for a lawyer's certificate. Information on the termination of the status of a lawyer is sent to the territorial body of the Ministry of Justice of Russia to the Office (Division) of the Judicial Department Supreme Court Russian Federation and organs preliminary investigation In the relevant subject of the Russian Federation. In the event that the territorial body of the Ministry of Justice of Russia will establish a discrepancy between the grounds for termination of the lawyer status of the foundations provided for by Art. 17, the disposal of the territorial body of justice on the introduction to the regional register of information on the termination of the status of a lawyer is not published. The territorial body of justice is informed by the Council of the Lawyer and Lawyer with a motivated notice, which is sent no later than 10 days from the date of receipt of the notification of the Council of the lawyer's termination of the lawyer.

Termination of lawyer status entails serious legal and actual consequences for a lawyer. Since the cessation of a lawyer's status, a person has the right to carry out advocacy activities, it is terminated by the guarantees provided for by law for lawyers. In this regard, the federal law on the advocacy specially provides for the possibility of appealing to the court decision of the Council of Lawyer on the termination of the status of a lawyer.

The territorial body of Justice has the right to achieve the cessation of a lawyer's status in the event that there are sufficient grounds for the termination of its status. This right is implemented by sending an idea of \u200b\u200bthe termination of the lawyer's status in the lawyer's chamber of the relevant subject. Moreover, it is necessary to have sufficient information on the existence of the circumstances that are the basis for the termination of the lawyer's status. Based on the submission, the Council of the Law Chamber must take a decision on the termination of the status of a lawyer within a month, given the conclusion of a qualifying committee, or on refusal to make such a decision. In the event that the Council of the Law Chamber of the Russian Federation, within three months from the date of receipt of the submission of the territorial body of Justice, did not consider it, the specified body is entitled to apply to the court with a statement to terminate the status of a lawyer. The procedure for the appeal of the territorial body of Justice to court is governed by the general norms of civil procedural legislation.

Thus, the law provided the territorial body of the Ministry of Justice of Russia to control the observance of lawyers current legislation and obligations to the trust.

Specialist expert management V.V. Romanov

The Commission of the Russian Federation for Ethics and standards noted that when choosing a lawyer's chamber disciplinary responsibility The lawyer must be taken into account:

  • the severity of the perfect misconduct;
  • circumstances of his commitment;
  • form of guilt;
  • other circumstances recognized by the Council of the Law Chamber are essential and taken into account when making a decision ().

It is also explained that the following circumstances may be taken into account, in particular: recognition by the lawyer of its guilt in the commission of disciplinary misconduct; committing a lawyer aimed at correcting the disciplinary misconduct (for example, repayment by a lawyer after the initiation of disciplinary production of debt on the payment of mandatory contributions to the lawyer's chamber); lack of disciplinary penalties; Awarding a lawyer with departmental and state awards (clarification of the Commission of the Russian Federation for Ethics and standards of May 15, 2018 No. 03/18).

At the same time, it is clarified that evidence of the gravity of a lawyer committed by a lawyer may recognize the admission by the lawyer of coarse and explicit manifestation of behavior, which eliminates the authority of the lawyer and will purge the honor and dignity of the lawyer. As an example, the situation is given when the lawyer sells the apartment of confidence at the low price, since his spouse performs the buyer. In addition, an invalid and incompatible attitude towards the execution of professional duties can be considered evidence of this. It is, in particular, about the care of a lawyer from the court session without notice of the judge before its end and the announcement of the sentence, and then the actual refusal to appeal.

In addition to this, the FPA Commission of the Russian Federation for Ethics and Standards draws attention: It is important to understand whether the lawyer is not caused by the uncoordinated actions of the lawyer itself. So, the lawyer was accused of protecting the suspect to appoint the investigator in June outside the schedule of duty. However, as the court found out later, the schedule of duty for the year was drawn up and approved by the decision of the Council of the Law Chamber in May, he began to act from June 1, and was published only in July, despite the fact that the lawyer was not familiar with him. In this regard, the court came to the conclusion that the violation of the procedure for the provision of legal assistance to the lawyer was due to the inconsistency of the Council of the Council of the Law Chamber (

According to official statistics, lawyers every year more and less often began to deprive the status. Such a punishment applies only in extreme cases, noted in FPA. What are those who lost it are engaged in.

In any case, the deprivation of status has changed my life for the better, says Burkin: "My whole country learned about my practice." Although, I can't protect against criminal cases in court and on a consequence, no one can prohibit analyze cases, draw up documents, prepare people to defend, including remotely, the lawyer explains: "And this is the main in defense against criminal proceedings" . In all, I try to find the pros, says Burkin: "So, in deprivation of status, he also has - on a lawyer you can" influence "through the management of the chamber, and" Press "to me". Although, the restoration of status for me is a fundamental question, a lawyer states.

Now I can participate more in the life of my Jurfirma "Burkin, Khaziev and partners", in which I am a founder by 50%. The only problem is only that many trusts wish my personal participation in court.

Colony and politics

In January 2012, he recognized the lawyer Vladimir Oshhekhnikov guilty of fraud and sentenced him to two years of the colony. During the hearings, it turned out that a diploma diploma is fake. Thus, it turned out that the defender of 12 years led illegal advocacy. Oreshnikov deprived the status of lawyer of the Lawyer Chamber (AP) of the Moscow Region. But already in 2013, the lawyer was released, changed the surname to Reznik, received new document About higher legal education and became a lawyer in the Tyumen Regional AP. However, in the fall of 2015, the Council of the Law Chamber of the Tyumen Region again deprived the resonant of the status. This lawyer did not stop - in 2016, he became a lawyer already from the Chechen Republic. True, the freedom of Oshness-Reznik stayed for a short time - this year sentenced a lawyer to seven years in prison for fraud.

Sometimes the deprivation of status precedes the accusation of a lawyer. Such a situation happened with the defender from Ivanovo Sergey Kolotkhin. In September 2017, the operatives of the FSB were detained. According to the investigators, the lawyer deceived his client, asking that 1 million rubles. For bribes to employees of the Ivanovo police. Koltukhin received two tranche from the principal, and during the transfer of the third was detained. Four days after that, the lawyer was deprived of the status. The case against the lawyer was investigated about six months. As a result, Kolotechina was sentenced to three years and six months of imprisonment in a general regime colony.

Some of the former lawyers actively goes into political activities. Alexey Sukhanova in December 2017 was deprived of the status for attacking the attachments in the Tver Distrid Building. The defender fault confirmed administrative Fine under art. 17.8 Administrative Code ("Preventing legitimate activities officer The authority authorized for the implementation of functions for the compulsory execution of executive documents and ensuring the established procedure for the activities of the courts "), which he appointed a world judge of the judicial area No. 423 of the Tver District of Moscow. Although the lawyer himself assured that he didn't touch the bailiffs, but they themselves beat the defender. However, the Council of the Irkutsk region, in which Sukhanov was listed, did not believe the colleague. Now the lawyer is trying to regain the status of judicial order (Case number 2-1028 / 2018 ~ M-21/2018), and in parallel conducts active political activities. In particular, output For pickets in defense of the convicted colonel Vladimir Kvachkov and participants in the initiative group of citizens "Call". According to the investigation, under the guise of this association functioned the extremist organization of journalist Yuri Mukhina "The Army of Will People", prohibited in 2010. In addition, Sukhanov publicly speaker At the rallies of nationalist movements. "There is no work in Irkutsk, standing at the employment center," the lawyer himself said.

Consequences of scandals

The lawyers lose the status and due to the insults of their colleagues. At the end of April of the current year, such a punishment defender Mark Feigin. The reason for this was the complaint of Stalins Gurevich, a lawyer of the Ukrainian blogger Anatoly Balkia. According to her, the lawyer of Moscow deprived the Faigina status "For the fact that he did not follow his tongue and allowed himself in the public space of an expression that are invalid from the point of view of the Code of Professional Ethics of the Lawyer." He could lose the status even earlier, in the summer of 2017, due to the conflict with the lawyer Ilya Novikov. But then the AP Moscow did not punish a lawyer.

In another case, the defenders of Lyudmila Aivar and Igor Trunov asked Moscow to punish Alexander Dobrovinsky, a colleague, because he unethically spoke in their address on social networks and interviews. Qualification Commission of the Metropolitan AP at the end of May, that the lawyer really violated the Code of Professional Ethics. But the Council of the Law of Moscow refused to deprive the Dobrovinsky status of a lawyer, limiting the remark.

Problems for trusts

Lost, but was able to return the status of Natalia Rocheva - the founder and the first president of the Law Chamber in the Nenets Autonomous District. The acting leader of the District AP Svetlana Hargrudova opened against Ruff disciplinary productionBecause that in early August 2017 did not appear in court as a lawyer for the appointment. But the fact is that Rocheva did not receive this notice and instructions from the Chamber. In September and November, she was first on vacation, and then on a business trip. That is, the lawyer Postfaktum learned that it was recognized by the violator of the Code of Profi Netics and Status. The representative of the ROD, the lawyer of the international human rights group "Agora" Ramil Akhmetgaliyev, notes that the "difficult situation" appears in the Undetsky AO for several years. From August to November 2017, the council of the district of the district actually ceased to act, all the functions on behalf of this collegial authority performed the President of the Chamber of Svetlana Semi City. With her sole decision she deprived Rocheran status, explains Akhmetgaliyev. His principal appealed against the decision of the AP in court. As part of this case, the court attracted the federal chamber of lawyers (FPA) as a third party, which stood on the side of the semi-degree. According to FPA, Rochev deprived the status of legitimate, and the Council of the Law Chamber is authorized to act in one person. However, in March of this year, he recognized the deprivation of a lawyer of lawyer status. June 5 Appeal of the act of first instance without changes. Thus, Ruffs returned status.

She tells that she put all his strength and raised the ward from scratch: "And in response, she received such" thanks ", and it was from those persons who herself took exams to receive advocate status, sought them awarding them from FPA." She notes that her business reputation suffered from this story. The lawyer recalls how immediately all the law guide immediately turned away from her even at the federal level: "Agora's international human rights group and my friends - lawyers offered me. They are sincere thanks. "

Special thanks to Agora's lawyer Ramil Akhmetgaliyev. Great moral support gave the coverage of my situation in the Internet group "Privat-lawyer", which adminisses the lawyer Irina Krasnov from Moscow. In this community, the defenders consist practically from all regions of Russia and even further abroad. They all supported me and gave advice, without their support I would be hard.

Natalia Rocheva, ex-lawyer

Rocheva adds that the cessation of status has become an unexpected problem for its principals: "I mainly specialize in criminal proceedings, and I had to terminate the agreement." Because of this, I don't have customers, she says: "Although the desire to appeal to me many." The lawyer notes: if she had chosen advocacy in civil proceedings for themselves, the loss of status would not particularly affect its financial position: "I would continue to provide an acute to my trusts, rebooting the agreement on the contract for the compensated service provision." Therefore, I understand those colleagues who are engaged only civil cases Without law status: "They have more freedom of choice in working with the client than a lawyer." So now, due to the changes made in the Federal Law "On the Bar", tightening the norms of KPEA lawyers, defending the interests of others, in fact do not have protection against themselves, summarizes Rochev.
