The revised version of the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine was a consequence of the implementation
of ideas on the unification of civil procedures. Now the Code of Administrative
Procedure of Ukraine, the Economic Procedure Code of Ukraine have largely received an
identical structure with the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine. It is noteworthy that the aforementioned
legislative acts have adopted a unified approach by the legislator, which has been
enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine, regarding the implementation of the so-called
“advocate monopoly” in providing legal assistance to the participants of a muzzle considered
by a court. “Advocate monopoly” was not perceived unambiguously in legal science. The
approaches to this phenomenon are described in the article. Particularly it is noted a change
in the positions of the subjects of the legislative initiative regarding the change of wearing
and the legislative consolidation of the “advocate monopoly” in the direction of its restriction.
Some ideas are assessed, which are set out in the draft Law of Ukraine No. 1013 “On
Amending the Constitution of Ukraine (Regarding the Abolition of the Lawyer Monopoly)”
dated 29 August 2019. Conclusions are given regarding the possible consequences if legislative
novelties come into force that are proposed in the draft Law of Ukraine No. 1013 “On
Amending the Constitution of Ukraine (Regarding the Abolition of the Lawyer Monopoly)”
dated 29 August 2019. It is alleged that the abolition of the so-called “advocate monopoly”
will positively affect the development of free law help in Ukraine. The author offers to
provide new provisions to the content of the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine, which will
address in more detail the issue of participation of representatives in civil procedure.

Keywords: professional representation; civil procedural representation; activities of a lawyer;
civil proceedings; lawyer in civil proceedings; civil procedure; legal assistance.
