Summary/Abstract: The article addresses selected issues related to determining the legal character of dues to the professional self-governing body of legal advisers. In the broader context of professional associations and decentralizing public tasks for their benefit, sources of financing their activity are discussed. Central to this matter is a cash consideration typical for this sphere of activity, known as a membership due. Its features and purpose lead to difficulties in unambiguously determining its legal character. All things considered, it is reasonable to assume that membership dues are a public contribution resembling a public levy.
