On the instructions of the president, a new professional holiday has been established in Russia - the Day of the Russian Bar will be officially celebrated on May 31. The decree on its establishment was signed by the head of government Mikhail Mishustin.

lt;p>gt;In the law community, it was this date that was informally established as a professional holiday. On this day in 2002, the law on Lawyering and Advocacy in the Russian Federation came into force.

"The establishment of a professional holiday at the official level will make it possible to emphasize the importance of the legal profession as a public law institution of the Russian legal system and its high public law significance for the Russian statehood," the Russian government said in a statement.
