ON SOME PROBLEMS OF MODERN RUSSIAN LEGAL PROFESSION IN COMPARISON WITH LEGAL PROFESSION IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN (CUSTOMS UNION COUNTRIES)
In the aspect of comparative law some issues of the bar's organization in the Republic of Kazakhstan and Russian Federation are considered. Particularly, a problem of attorney's exclusive domain of being a representative in civil process is given attention. However, the number of attorneys in Russia is not enough to provide legal aid to every person who needs it. It is offered to implement legal service licensing, when the service is not connected with advocacy. In addition, the number of problems which can be solved with the help of a person who is not an attorney, should be decreased gradually. That will make lots of people become attorneys, and, among other things, it will help to lower the rate of attorney's assessments to the Chamber of attorneys. Thus, it is a positive measure. The necessity to make the morale of the bar better is also mentioned. For comparison there is an example of the law in the Republic of Kazakhstan, which is the law “On the advocacy”. It is said there that a person discharged by the non-exonerative reasons after commiting an intended crime, cannot be an attorney.
