Abstract

The article offers a broad overview and comparative analysis of legal training and the provision of judicial representation status in European countries with different legal systems and the Russian Federation. Based on a comparative analysis of the best practices of European legal systems, the study recommends to implement a state accreditation for representatives of state authorities followed by an exam or training in a Bar Association (by mentoring) or at the workplace and suggests providing regular training courses followed by an exam as a prerequisite for maintaining the status of a judicial representative.
