Bar Day in Ukraine
December 19 · Level 4 · #1567 of 2238
Bar Day in Ukraine is the professional holiday of lawyers who defend people's rights in court and help them find their way through the law. It is marked on 19 December.
How it is celebrated: there are conferences and get-togethers for colleagues, and professional awards are presented. Some bar associations hold open days and free consultations for people who need legal help.
Ukraine's current law on the bar and legal practice was passed in 2012. It established self-governance for advocates, so the profession sets and polices its own standards.
