This article is the author’s analysis of the current state of affairs in ensuring the organizational principles of the independence of the legal profession in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Based on the study of existing opinions, analysis of legislative acts, as well as familiarization with the experience of some foreign countries, the author comes to the conclusion that the principles of self-government and self-organization of advocacy in Uzbekistan are not implemented effectively enough, leaving room for some pressure from the state, in particular bodies of justice. Thus, the opinion is substantiated about the possibility of the influence of the justice authorities in such cases as licensing of advocacy (access to the profession), the formation of the leadership of the corporation of advocates, as well as bringing advocates to disciplinary responsibility. Taking into account the study of the experience of such countries as the USA, England, France, Finland, Israel, Austria, Italy, Russia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tajikistan, Moldova, the author presents recommendations for improving the institutional foundations of self-organization and self-government of a Bar corporation in Uzbekistan.
