Today is a professional holiday – the Day of the Lawyer of Ukraine. Our city is a well-known center of legal life, a real legal capital. It is in Kharkov that today's and tomorrow's Ukrainian jurisprudence is being created.

I sincerely congratulate all those who had the honor of practicing law – lectors, researchers, graduate students, associate professors, graduate students, cadets, students and university graduates who successfully work in all spheres of society: in practical law enforcement agencies, in the legislature and executive bodies, in the judiciary, the bar, the notary and in the workplace.

I wish you a real creative flight in professional activity, inspiration, the strongest health, peace, goodness and harmony!
