Summary/Abstract: The article aims to decode the concepts of impeccable character and good repute in the law of legal professional self-governing bodies. The authors focus on answering a few specific questions, particularly including the following: 1) What is the position of clauses in the system of a given profession,and how do this position, and thus the relations to other obligations that are usually also inthe form of clauses, affect the significance attributed to impeccable character and good repute? 2)What elements modify the content of clauses and what are the directions of those modifications? 3) Does the content of obligation vary depending on the profession (or, perhaps, within one profession)that the requirement concerns? What determines the possible differences? 4) To what extent doestime act as a modifying element? This text, although based on an analysis of all primary sourcesof knowledge of the relevant subject (legal acts, including the codes of professional ethics, judicialdecisions and the relevant literature), does not aspire to fully cover it. Realising the impossibility ofa complex and thorough analysis, the authors decided to remain autonomous in selecting researchmethods and determining the role of specific fields of scientific exploration.
