The Agency for Legislative Initiatives (ALI) joined the initial training of trainee prosecutors — on June 23, ALI’s Head of the “Law and Order” Area, Yevhen Krapyvin, delivered a lecture titled “Introduction to Professional Ethics of a Prosecutor” at the Prosecutors’ Training Centre of Ukraine.
The ALI expert has been teaching this topic in various formats at the Training Centre for the third consecutive year. During the sessions, trainees explore general approaches to defining the professional ethics of legal practitioners, the relationship between moral and ethical categories and legal norms, and the concepts of “ethics”, “integrity”, and related issues. The training also focuses on current practices of the Qualification and Disciplinary Commission of Prosecutors and prospects for the development of prosecutorial self-governance in light of these lecture topics.
