Abstract

Our professional life, including our professional activities, cannot be imagined without using the Internet information system. The standards of professional ethics of representatives of various professions should be fully observed on the Internet. Among the requirements for lawyers, their observance of the lawyer secrecy on the Internet is especially relevant, since this fundamental principle of the lawyer’s activity essentially protects information from distribution. Hence, Internet plays a leading role in any layer’s professional secrecy. The aim of this paper is to analyze the current state of the dissemination of the requirement to maintain lawyer secrets on the actions of a lawyer on the Internet. One can see that the rules of conduct for lawyers on the Internet information and telecommunications network, adopted by the Council of the Federal Chamber of Lawyers of the Russian Federation on September 28, 2016, established ethical standards of behavior binding on all the lawyers on the World Wide Web. They specifically enshrined the provision on the need for lawyers to maintain confidentiality. Studies have shown that the provision of lawyer secrecy is quite relevant in the framework of Internet communication of lawyers. The practice demonstrates the presence of violations of the lawyer confidentiality in Iternet, which requires special attention and response from the lawyer community.
