    DEVELOPMENT IN RIGHT DIRECTION

    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.
