These norms included in the framework of ethical codes set the desired pattern of behavior of a legal practitioner. In the case of different types of dilemmas, they indicate the right way to proceed. Attorneys are required, which is understandable in order to protect the broadly understood public interest, to comply with the highest ethical and moral standards. This article presents the essence and importance of the institution of discipli-nary responsibility in ensuring the proper performance of the profession. In addition, it indi-cates disciplinary offenses that may result in the initiation of disciplinary proceedings against a lawyer and types of disciplinary penalties.
