The Role of a Lawyer’s Request as a Means of Legal Communication in the Field of Human Rights Advocacy

Palabras clave: práctica jurídica, recopilación de documentos y pruebas, respuesta adecuada, comunicación jurídica, defensa de los derechos humanos

Resumen

La práctica judicial muestra que no se da respuesta a la solicitud de todos los abogados, por lo que el estudio del papel de la solicitud es pertinente. El objetivo de la investigación fue realizar un análisis teórico y jurídico del papel de la solicitud del abogado en el campo de la defensa de los derechos humanos debido a las peculiaridades de su soporte normativo como medio de comunicación jurídica. Se utilizaron los siguientes métodos: observación directa; método de comparación; análisis del contenido de los documentos que rigen el procedimiento para dar y recibir una respuesta a la solicitud de un abogado. Se identificaron documentos y programas normativo-legales que regulan el orden y las peculiaridades del trabajo legal de los abogados y sus solicitudes. El artículo también examina la práctica jurídica de utilizar las solicitudes y analiza la actividad de los abogados para garantizar el papel de la solicitud como un medio eficaz de comunicación jurídica. Se descubrió que, en Ucrania, la práctica de solicitud en sí misma sigue siendo un medio ineficaz de comunicación jurídica. Sin embargo, el abogado no siempre recopila la información y los documentos necesarios para la defensa a su debido tiempo.
