Fundamental principles of lawyer activity in the countries of the European Union
«In a society based on respect for the rule of law, a lawyer plays a special role. A lawyer's responsibilities do not begin and end with the conscientious performance of his/her statutory powers. A lawyer must serve the interests of justice, as well as those whose rights and freedoms he is authorized to defend and protect, in addition, a lawyer's duties include not only defending the client's interests but also being a client's advisor. Respect for the professional function of a lawyer is a necessary condition for the rule of law and democracy in society» [1, p. 1].
