Methodology: The methods of structural-functional analysis, systematic method, formal-legal method, method of examination of documents, method of participant observation were used. Results: The article presents the scientific and practical analysis of the proposals on fixing the status of the Advocacy in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, coming from the representatives of the bodies of corporate governance of the advocacy and public associations of advocates, formulated within the framework of the 2020 Constitutional reform. It is concluded that the consolidation of the status of the Advocacy in the Constitution of the Russian Federation is postponed indefinitely. The reason for this lies, in the author’s view, in the lack of legal technical and reasoning expertise in the proposals submitted by the Federal Chamber of Advocates of the Russian Federation, as well as in the unwillingness of this organization to support other well-founded proposals coming from public associations of advocates. Novelty/originality/value: The article is of scientific value, since it is a study of the modern problems of organization and functioning of the Advocacy in Russian Federation.
