Dear site visitors!

We are pleased to welcome you to the official website of the Bar Council of the Kyiv region. On the pages of our internet portal, you will be able not only to familiarize yourself with the legal basis of the activities of the self-governing bodies of lawyers of the Kyiv region, their structure, purpose and tasks, but also to discuss news and events that concern the defenders of the Kyiv region.

The content of the website is constantly updated, the page of the Kyiv Region Bar Council on the Facebook social network is active.

So, still ope that iu would receive useful information for iur activities. We are grateful in advance to the lawyers of the Kyiv region for their active participation in the work of the Committee for the Protection of Lawyers’ Rights, providing complete and reliable information for posting on our portal. We are convinced that together we will form a high-quality and professional information platform, which will be for every lawyer the source of information that increases the level of the lawyer’s skill.

And not only about raising the level of a lawyer’s skills, the pages of the site should be discussed. It is the lawyer who is entrusted with the honorable duty of today – to radically change the law enforcement system of Ukraine. And changes will begin only when we ourselves change. Ukrainians are very often outraged by the imperfection of modern justice… But at the same time, most citizens are grateful to it when they themselves find themselves in the role of defendants or defendants. After all, at this moment we are not afraid of the punishing sword of Themis, we think about how much it will cost us to dull, or even completely break this sword.

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.
