A study of the nature of the category "legal status of a lawyer" has shown that it is one of the most fundamental and at the same time one of the most complex categories in jurisprudence. This is due to the fact that, on the one hand, this category has received a wide range of applications both in legal theory and in practice, and on the other - in modern legal science there is no single (universal) approach to understanding its essence. The legal status of a lawyer is a complex category that reflects his legal position in society, characterized by the presence of a lawyer legally established set of rights, duties, guarantees and responsibilities that are necessary and sufficient to practice law to provide professional legal (legal) assistance on the basis of absolute independence. This category accumulates and reproduces the whole set of relationships of a lawyer in society and reflects not only his real legal position, but also forms the legal basis for the professional activity of a lawyer in it. This complex category serves as a basis for distinguishing the legal status of a lawyer and other participants in legal relations.
