Dear lawyers!
I sincerely congratulate you on the occasion of your professional holiday – the Lawyers Day.
Service to the law is your life choice and calling, as well as establishment and strengthening of the principles and values of democracy, protection of rights and freedoms of a human and citizens.
This holiday is a good occasion not only to remind of social significance and venerability of lawyers’ mission but also an occasion to stress constant responsibility for the quality and results of its implementation. The fate of people, political institutes and even the state quite often depends on the profession of a lawyer.
You perform complicated but noble mission that requires the respective level of education and exemplar moral qualities. I am convinced that high professionalism, honesty, conscientiousness and self-discipline will help you always remain on top of modern requirements.
I express my sincere gratitude to those who give their heart, wisdom and talent to strengthen lawfulness, fairness and the rule of law; to all those who decently meet requirements of the time and justify confidence and trust of our compatriots.
I wish you happiness, family welfare, fruitful work and new achievements for the good of Ukrainian people.
The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada
of Ukraine Volodymyr RYBAK
