The Bar Council of Ukraine scheduled the reporting and election congress of advocates, to be held on 9-10 June 2017 in Kyiv. The BCU members will be included in the organizing committee.

The BCU also approved quota of representation at the congress (1 from 100) and quotas for the conduct of regional reporting and election conferences (with an open date) and conferences for the election of delegates to the congress (no later than 9 May).

The BCU further adopted a procedure and rules of the congress and approved its agenda. Representatives of the bar in the HCJ, HQCJ and QDCP will not be elected during this congress.

Announcing these decisions, the UNBA/BCU President Lydia Izovitova stressed that the completion of the five-year term of office of leaders of the bar self-government bodies should ensure continuality of work and transfer of the gained experience.

"I hope that this election year, which should include regional conferences and the reporting and election congress, will pass more or less smoothly. I hope that those members of the bar self-government who will not be re-elected will be able to pass the traditions initiated by them and will ensure smooth transfer of documentation so that the new people could be able to understand the policy we pursued in the bar for the last five years", - said Mrs Izovitova.
