Dear friends!
I sincerely congratulate you on your professional holiday – the Day of advocateship.
Development of Ukraine as a democratic, social and law-governed state is impossible without a proper operation of the advocateship institute, activity of which is aimed at protection of rights and freedoms of people.
An advocate has always been a servant to and a creator of law. This peculiarity, that constantly determines the essence of everyday work of an advocate, passes down from generation to generation strengthening faith in the power of law and deepening understanding of a social mission of advocateship, activity of which, according to a prominent advocate of past times Picard, is an important index of humanity and progress in a country.
Destiny of thousands of people, social and political calmness, sometimes even existence of a state depends on qualification and public stand of an advocate. An advocate bears a noble duty of fighting for justice which demands a high level of professional training, special experience, all-round education and excellent moral values.
I wish you good health, happiness, inspiration, family comfort and new achievements in your honourable work for the benefit of your fellow citizens and Ukraine!
Volodymyr RYBAK
