Description
Summary:The article notes that control over the activities of bar self-governance bodies is critically important for ensuring the proper functioning of justice and the protection of citizens’ rights. With the increase in complaints about the improper actions of lawyers and bar self-governance bodies, the issue of their control is becoming increasingly relevant. The lack of proper control can lead to violations of citizens’ rights, a decrease in trust in the legal system, and the emergence of legal conflicts. It is emphasized that recent legislative changes in Ukraine have aimed to improve the mechanisms of control over the activities of lawyers and bar self-governance bodies. This includes the introduction of new ethical standards, increased transparency of various qualification procedures, and enhanced accountability for professional misconduct. These initiatives were intended to ensure a high level of professionalism and responsibility among lawyers, as well as to increase public trust in the legal system. The importance of researching this topic is highlighted for analyzing the effectiveness of existing control mechanisms and identifying possible ways to improve them, which, in turn, will contribute to strengthening the rule of law in Ukraine. In conclusion, the features of control over the activities of bar self-governance bodies are established as follows: targeted influence – ensuring compliance with and enforcement of legislation by bar self-governance bodies, avoiding violations, providing organizational and practical support; object of control: activities of bar self-governance bodies; nature of control – both internal and external, carried out by the bar self-governance bodies themselves on a self-regulatory basis and by specially authorized state control entities; specificity of goals, functions, and tasks; peculiarities in the forms and methods of control activities.
