Political statements of the lawyer

Purpose - fix approaches to the legal regulation of the political activities of lawyers. Statistical, hermeneutic and participatory observation were used. The problem of the participation of lawyers in political activities is identified, by limiting the rights of lawyers to public political statements. Three existing approaches to the lawyer's right to public political statements are identified: witnesses of the Constitution, privileged freedom, total ban. Two approaches are singled out in the procedures for assessing the regulatory framework on the issue of a public statement of a lawyer: state and corporate. It is indicated that the corporate approach to date has shown its failure. The introduction of the term "Witnesses of the Constitution" into scientific circulation speaks of novelty, and the classification of both approaches to limiting the freedom of a lawyer's speech and the procedures for assessing this freedom speaks of originality. The scientific value nature of the study is evidenced by the recommendations that the author puts forward based on the classification.
