Abstract

In the article, the author, from a comparative legal point of view, considers the main organizational mechanisms for ensuring the independence and development of the institution of the advocacy in modern Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. First of all, it is emphasized that independence as the main factor in the effective operation of the institution of the bar is considered one of the most pressing problems in the field of advocacy. At the same time, it is considered appropriate to consider guarantees of ensuring independence in the context of its three aspects: organizational aspect (independence in terms of management, logistics and taxation); procedural aspect (procedural guarantees of the independence of a lawyer); personal aspect (lawyer immunity status). This article discusses some of the problematic aspects of ensuring one of these aspects - the organizational component of the independence of the legal profession and advocacy. Thus, the author raises the issue of the shortcomings existing in the current legislation of the studied countries, including those regarding the implementation of the principles of self-governance of the bar, independent resolution of issues of admission to the profession, bringing lawyers to disciplinary liability, etc. Based on extensive international and foreign experience and analysis of the legislation of the CIS countries, foreign countries, as well as the available empirical material, the factors that create some obstacles in the organization of the independent functioning of the bar, in particular, the inclusion of disciplinary proceedings of the justice authorities in the licensing mechanism, were studied. As a result, the author presents suggestions and recommendations.
