Lawyer's Day in Russia
December 3 · Level 6 · #975 of 2238
The professional day of Russian lawyers: advocates, judges, prosecutors, notaries, in-house counsel and law teachers. It is a reminder that laws work because people apply them and explain them.
How it is celebrated: there are formal meetings and conferences, colleagues are congratulated and given awards, and law students meet working practitioners. The profession also uses the day to talk about what could be improved in the legal system.
The date coincides with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, so events often touch on access to justice for everyone. It is a good day for lawyers to think about people as much as about articles of the code.
