Abstract

The article deals with the ideological basis, social and cultural features of the formation of European legal and civic values. The value regulations of legal ethics on the example of the formation of the legal culture of Germany are investigated. The author revealed the distinctive character of the Ukrainian socio-cultural context of legal culture from European countries. The study provides tools for understanding and focuses on resolving ethical conflicts in modern advocacy in Ukraine. The author explored the norms of legal ethics adopted in European society, as well as the regulatory potential of deontology through reference to its origins. In the context of social philosophy, the author outlined the ethical potential of due process, the regulatory effect of the value of trust in the legal profession of Germany, as well as revealed the formation of due process and determine its ethical potential. It was concluded that the heuristic potential of the concept of J. Habermas "world community" can be applied to activists of public organizations operating in the modern global world. Such organizations include professional associations of lawyers, which within the UN and the EU conduct regulatory initiatives on the ethical regulation of the professional activities of lawyers. International and regional (EU) bar associations are organizations of the world community that are engaged in ethical rulemaking in relation to the professional activity of lawyers. Regulatory principles of this type of organizations are mandatory in the scope of their action.
