The appropriate constitutional status and responsibilities imposed on the advocacy cause the society's acute attention to the moral and ethical component of the activity of the advocacy in general and each lawyer in particular. It concerns both daily activities in real life and legal activities in social networks, which have become a significant part of our reality due to their total dissemination in personal and professional life of the individual. Such increased public attention to advocacy determines the need to ensure appropriate quality control over the specified professional activity, which is carried out by specialized structural divisions of the advocacy as an autonomous and self-governing institute in Ukraine.

And the adherence of the lawyer to the Rules of Legal Ethics, the admissibility of their actions and statements in real life, as well as their activities in social networks are is determined on the basis of appraisal concepts and depends on the discretion of the authorities with the right of official interpretation of the Rules of Legal Ethics in the process of disciplinary proceedings and, as a result, disciplinarypenalties.
