Dear site visitors!
A lawyer, a defender… Unfortunately, only a very small part of students has not yet lost youthful maximalism and romanticism and, entering law school, dreams of protecting the innocent and punishing thieves. But I want, I really want, for the lawyer to really be the Defender. That’s right, with a capital letter. After all, he protects not only a specific person, he realizes the inalienable right of a person to protection, he implements not the principles of judicial procedure, but the principles of justice. The members of the Bar Council of the Kyiv region wish to convey these ideas to those lawyers who wish to pass the bar exam, complete an internship and become a lawyer of the Kyiv region.
After all, every lawyer should know that his colleagues will always help him in times of need, and the Committee for the Protection of Lawyers’ Rights will defend his professional rights against the arbitrariness of officials. And information about this will also be on this site.
I hope that the legal profession is not just a corporation for all of us professionals, but a community of like-minded people united by a single desire – to protect.
