About further training of legal counsels from the perspective of disciplinary responsibility

Abstract

In the present legal state further training of legal counsels, as representatives of a profession of public confidence, is their obligation sanctioned by disciplinary responsibility. The author, using a method of dogmatic and historical-legal analysis, presents the evolution of objective corporate and statutory regulations and opinions formulated in this respect within the space of dozen or more recent years. Indicating an example of fulfilling its statutory tasks by professional corporation, the article simultaneously refers to the care exercised by this corporation over the proper practice of the profession of public confidence as justification for exacting the obligation of further training by corporation authorities. Based on the example of the problem of further training of legal counsels, the article aims to present closer the issue of basis of disciplinary responsibility of professional corporation members for behaviours which affect internal corporation regulations and the requirement of keeping the limits of competence regulations by professional corporation authorities while taking their resolutions.
