Legal assistance in administrative judiciary

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the content and types of professional legal assistance in administrative proceedings, during the exercise of judicial control over the implementation of court decisions in administrative cases and beyond. Based on the analysis, the state of development of professional legal assistance in Ukraine is determined. Real mechanisms of protection of the rights of citizens by rendering such help are investigated. Mechanisms for providing legal assistance to persons who do not have sufficient funds to obtain legal assistance from a lawyer working in the private sector are disclosed. The volumes of free legal aid, both primary and secondary, have been established. The article also deals with the other side of the lawsuit - the subjects of power, their mechanisms to protect their own interests and provide the latter with proper legal assistance as well. This category is also discussed in this article as a category such as self-representation in the administrative process by subjects of power. The powers of the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for Human Rights in the context of ensuring the protection of citizens' rights during an appeal to an administrative court have been studied. International legal acts have been established, which correspond to the current legislation of Ukraine in the field of providing citizens with appropriate professional legal assistance in the process of administrative proceedings. Conclusions are made on the state of development of legal aid in the administrative process in Ukraine as a whole. In addition, emphasis is placed on legal assistance in this type of legal service - as judicial control over the implementation of court decisions in favor of the plaintiff in administrative cases. Attention is drawn to the fact that administrative proceedings consist not only of consideration of the case in the administrative court, but also of the actual execution of the court decision.
