Professional Legal Assistance when Resolving Cases in Administrative Courts: Features of Provision and Development Prospects

Abstract. The article examines the peculiarities of providing professional legal assistance in resolving cases in administrative courts and the prospects for its development. It is noted that today, effective legal protection is difficult to imagine without professional legal assistance. Professional legal assistance includes various aspects and can be implemented through various forms, such as: consultations, explanations, drafting of various documents, including lawsuits, appeals, complaints, as well as representation, in particular before courts and other state bodies. At the same time, the choice of a specific form and the person who provides such assistance depends on the will of the person who needs it. It is emphasized that the lawyer's participation in administrative proceedings is expressed in his active role in this process, where the main goal is to achieve the best legal result for the client. Representation in court by a lawyer takes place on behalf and in the interests of the person whose side he represents. However, a person who uses the services of a lawyer reserves the opportunity to defend his rights and interests on his own. Representation by a lawyer requires appropriate qualifications and professionalism in providing legal assistance. According to the rules of lawyer ethics, a lawyer must use his knowledge and skills to effectively protect the rights and legitimate interests of his client, complying with the law and promoting the principle of the rule of law and legality. It was determined that professional legal assistance in administrative proceedings is professional support by a lawyer aimed at protecting the rights and freedoms of a party in a specific administrative case. The main goal is to defend and restore the rights of individuals in the event of their violation by the public administration through decision-making, actions or inaction in the exercise of their powers.
