Abstract

The authors of the paper analyze current law solutions which delineate the limits of freedom of expression among members of legal professions of public trust. The starting point for this consideration are the constitutional regulations of freedom of expression of an individual and its limits. Then, the authors point to the specific social role of members of lawyers’ professional corporations, stressing that it determines the way of shaping the legal status of this kind occupation. The authors also note that one of the most important areas of legal regulations which determine the rules of practicing the legal professions is the guarantee of freedom of expression. This freedom is the fundament of independence of professional self‑government in law and at the same time the crucial condition to fulfill the social role in the legal professions. At the same time, it is preserving the freedom of an individual and his/her full constitutional rights to justice and fair trial.
