The principal function of advocacy is to provide juridical assistance
to physical and juridical persons. It is fixed by laws and in some
cases by court codes.
"The UK is the only exception. There is no special law on advocacy",
constitutional right specialist Vardan Poghosyan says. A united chamber
of lawyers functions almost in all the Western European states. In
France the chamber was formed in 1971, in Germany - in 1959. The Union
of Lawyers of America is the most famous in the US. There are lawyers
unions in some states but in the US their activities are regulated not
by a single law but by the legislation of the given state. In Germany
the situation is different. Though a lot of lawyer unions function in
there their activity is regulated on the state level, since a united
chamber of lawyers functions in the country. The united Chamber of
Lawyers functions in Russia and in all the CIS member-states.
In Vardan Poghosyan's opinion the problems connected with
the activities of the Chamber of Lawyers demand general
settlement. "The existence of one chamber is justified. However
Armenia has no experience. It hard to say how the development will
proceed. Unfortunately the lawyers unions in Armenia functioned in
various directions and this cause hardships when forming a united
chamber. Anyway, I have no doubts that the development follows the
right direction", he says. He considers that the law "On Advocacy"
adopted in 2004 definitely regulated the lawyers' authority, cases
of depriving them of license, suspension of their activities.
In our republic the institute of advocacy has not formed yet. "The
reason for it is the absence of independence justice system. Very
often the success of the case depends on the ability of the lawyers
to find common language with the judge", Vardan Poghosyan resumed.
