The first book of short stories by lawyers was presented
A collection of fiction by Ukrainian attorneys «Diary of My Lawyer» was published. The publication combines short stories, essays and novels written by attorneys - participants of the first All-Ukrainian prose competition among attorneys «Personal View».
The diary was presented by its author and compiler, expert of the Ukrainian National Bar Association's Committee on Humanitarian Issues and Creative Initiatives Andriy Osipov during the meeting of the Bar Council of Ukraine held on December 13-14.
The competition, organized by the Committee in cooperation with the UNBA Center for Bar and Law Studies in 2021, provided an opportunity for lawyers from all over the country to demonstrate their literary talents and share their thoughts, experiences and stories. It has become an important event in the world of the legal community, as it has opened up new horizons for the creative self-realization of lawyers.
«All the works included in this collection reflect the versatility and depth of the authors' personal and professional experiences, as well as their vision of modern society and law, - said Lidiya Izovitova, the President of the UNBA, BCU. - Each individual work is a unique view of the world seen through the eyes of those who daily protect human rights and interests, fighting for justice. This collection inspires new thoughts, discoveries and perception of various aspects of life and law».
Everything written in the book is based on personal experience and real cases of Ukrainian lawyers. At the same time, all private information, such as names, surnames, age, marital status, place of residence, nationality, profession, etc. have been changed. Therefore, any coincidences and any resemblance to real persons, living or deceased, that may have arisen as a result of these changes are entirely coincidental and unintentional.
Oleksandr Solontai, an expert in community development, strategic planning and public figure:
«It is so good that the lawyers wrote this book together in a language accessible to people. This is a unique collection. It has everything: true, impressive and sensual situations from life, human rights, their protection, faith in justice and the fight against lawlessness, the desire to change our country for the better. I recommend these works of fiction for careful reading and response. There is much to think about, laugh and argue about!».
Helena Andreychykova, writer:
«Can lawyers write fiction? Of course they can! This is a collection of fascinating and often paradoxical works, a poetic vision of everyday life, the sensual hearts of lawyers who have devoted themselves to the protection of human rights. Extraordinary and impressive!».
Akim Galimov, 1+1 media producer, founder of the Real Story project:
«Imbued with a special atmosphere, this collection of stories reveals the backstage of the legal world in a very simple and relaxed way. Easy, fascinating and definitely unexpected! Especially for those who thought that lawyers communicate exclusively in the complex language of laws. In fact, they are great storytellers of incredible stories that will definitely not leave you indifferent!».
