In civilized democratic states, an advocate is an integral factor in the legal system and
the main non-state institution for the protection of the individual, his rights and freedoms.
Thus, the lawyer, in the fullest sense of the word, defines the right to legal protection or legal
assistance provided by lawyers to those in need. Advocacy is an extremely important
instrument of democracy, because in essence it is the organization of professional advocates
and performs such a public function as protecting the fundamental rights of the individual.
The protection ofhuman rights is the main purpose of the advocacy.
