Abstract

In the modern society, the Internet information system is an integral part of life. Both professional activity and private life cannot be imagined without its use. Moral norms impose additional requirements on representatives of certain professions. In this regard, their behavior on the Internet must be subject to special regulations represented by the norms of professional ethics. The aim of the study is to analyze the current state of the spread of advocacy ethics in the communication of a lawyer and posting information on the Internet. Many relevant studies demonstrated that advocate ethics is quite relevant in the context of Internet communication of lawyers. The requirements for compliance with legal ethics in the Internet space apply to the information posted by the lawyer, both associated with advocacy and not directly related to it. Rules of Conduct for Lawyers in the Information and Telecommunication Network “Internet” establish ethical standards of conduct that are binding on all lawyers. However, the paper argues that the legitimacy of their adoption is questionable.
