Axiological-legal dimension of the rule of law

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the rule of law as an axiological and legal core of professional advocacy. The necessity of using the axiological approach to reveal the significance of the principle of the rule of law as an axiological-legal attribute of professional advocacy is substantiated. In this context, the understanding of the basic principles on which a lawyer is based in the process of implementing the rule of law in his professional activity has been improved. Therefore, the main legal acts regulating the professional activity of a lawyer, and through which the red thread is the principle of the rule of law, designed to harmonize public relations. During the study, it was argued that the rule of law permeates the entire structure of legal regulation of social relations. The primary significance of the rule of law as a principle for advocacy is that it (rule of law) harmonizes other principles, eliminates contradictions in their application and fills the principles of advocacy with the so-called real practical content, ie applicable in the daily practice of each lawyer. One of the most important independent, self-governing institutions of civil society is to participate in the administration of justice, provide legal aid on a professional basis, perform its public legal function of monitoring state compliance with the rule of law and implement the rule of law. As forerunners of the rule of law, lawyers must also take care of their own professional reputation and the authority of the legal community as a whole. Finally, the emphasis is on the fact that the rule of law is a super-principle, a guiding legal doctrine on which all other principles of advocacy depend.
