Based on the problem situation conditioned by indeterminacy of institutional position of the standards of law enforcement ethics within the mechanism of contemporary law enforcement regulation, the author attempts to analyze the legal nature of the above standards. The study reveals that the legal nature of standards of law enforcement ethics is conditioned by the necessity to protect the identity of citizens and the law enforcement system itself from the negative impact produced by various forms of irregular conduct by subjects of law enforcement. As a result of comparing the standards of law enforcement ethics and the rules of law the author establishes that according to the technical-legal forms of their external expression and other attributes, as well as their regulatory potential, the standards of law enforcement ethics are comparable to the status of the rules of law. The study permits us to conclude that the standards of law enforcement ethics possess the classificatory identity typical of the protective rules of law represented by relations in the field of law enforcement activity. This identity is conditioned by the specificity of the subject of their regulation. The standards of law enforcement ethics are of subsidiary significance as they supplement and develop standards of status laws in matters of legal regulation of the moral aspect of the law enforcement activity.

The problem of legal regulation of interaction between the prosecutor’s office and public administration entities on the issues of performing the assigned functions has been studied. The research is based on studying such legislative acts as the Constitution of Ukraine, Laws of Ukraine “On Central Executive Agencies”, “On the Prosecutor’s Office”, “On the Status of MPs of Ukraine”, “On Temporary Investigative and Special Commissions of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine” and other legislative acts and bylaws regulating the interaction of the prosecutor’s office with state authorities. The interaction of the prosecutor’s office with public administration entities has been defined as the procedure of appeal of the prosecutor’s office to the executive authorities, which is regulated by law norms, as well as the procedure of consideration of the appeals of MPs and representatives of the executive authorities in the prosecutor’s office. The authors have established the following main directions of the interaction between the prosecutor’s office and the state authorities: consideration of Mps inquiries by the prosecutor’s office, participation of prosecutors in the work of investigative commissions and temporary special commissions of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, interaction of the prosecutor’s office with the Accounting Chamber of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, prosecutors’ representation of state interests in the court by presenting lawsuits within administrative, commercial or civil proceedings, interaction of the prosecutor’s office with the judicial branch of power in the process of judicial system, coordination of law enforcement activity, informing the representative authorities about the results of the activity of the prosecutor’s office and the rule of law in the state and individual territorial community. Improvement of legal principles of cooperation between prosecutor’s office and public administration entities can take place in such areas as bringing the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On the Prosecutor’s Office” in line with the Constitution of Ukraine, development of a common form of request to all prosecutor’s office in regard to represent the interests in court, establishment of uniform terms for all authorities to consider their requests by the prosecutor’s office, establishment of a separate norm in the Law of Ukraine “On the Prosecutor’s Office” that would regulate the procedure and conditions of coordination of law enforcement activities of other authorities by the prosecutor’s office.

Key words: state service, administrative and legal regulation, law enforcement activity, law enforcement functions, legal enforcement.

In the current conditions of European integration processes in Ukraine, the issues of activity of institutions aimed at guaranteeing and protecting the rights and interests of all the participants in public relations have become important. The study of the genesis of legal regulation of the status of legal entities engaged in the provision of legal services in our country have been become particularly relevant. In Ukraine, advocates have the right to provide all types of legal services, in particular to represent interests in court in all types of proceedings. An advocate is a natural person who practices law on the grounds and in the manner prescribed by the Law of Ukraine «On Advocacy and Advocatory Activity». In studying the genesis of the legal regulation of the status of legal entities engaged in the provision of legal services under the laws of Ukraine, special attention has been paid to the period after the restoration of our state's independence on August 24, 1991. Legal entities engaged in the provision of legal services were created and operated in various organizational and legal forms, the most common of which were and remain private enterprises and limited liability companies. The peculiarity of our legal system is also that the Law of Ukraine «On Free Legal Aid» was adopted and regulates, in particular, the status of centers for free secondary legal aid and the peculiarities of providing such aid by advocates, who are included in the Register of free secondary legal aid advocates. At the same time, the key role in providing participants of public relations with legal services in our state belongs to the bar. Therefore, despite the possibility of carrying out activities in the field of legal services by legal entities of all types and organizational and legal forms, a special place among them has been occupied by advocatory association and advocatory bureau. In the scientific article it has been summarized and highlighted the periods in the history of normative regulation of the legal status of these legal entities after August 24, 1991.

The Law of Ukraine "On Grain and the Grain Market in Ukraine" of 4 July 2002 defines grain as the fruits of cereals, legumes and oilseeds used for food, seed, fodder and technical purposes. Peculiarities of grain as a valuable agricultural raw material determine the peculiarities of its storage, which affects the specifics of legal regulation in this area.

One of the most effective ways to protect the interests of the claimant, which increases the effectiveness of execution of a court decision of a property nature and expands the possibilities of enforcement proceedings, is to claim for recovery of money and (or) property of others. This legal institution allows the enforcement of money and (or) property of another person who is not a party to the enforcement proceedings, but either holds the property or has a debt to the debtor.

Introduction: the article considers problematic issues related to the work of management subjects (managers) and attestation commissions in situations when an employee of the penal system of the Russian Federation is dismissed due to the loss of trust. The aim of this study is to identify gaps in the current legislation on the service that arise when a measure of responsibility such as dismissal due to the loss of trust is applied; another aim consists in formulating proposals for improving legislation in this area. Methods: methodological basis of our study is represented by a set of methods of scientific cognition, among which the main place belongs to formal-logical, system-structural, and comparative-legal methods. Results: the study has shown that there are many problematic issues in the law enforcement practice regarding the dismissal of employees due to the loss of trust. The norms of the law do not clearly distinguish the components of corruption offenses for which an employee is subject to dismissal due to the loss of trust or may be brought to another type of liability. The issue regarding the status of the decision of the attestation commission remains unresolved; its decision is of an advisory nature, but at the same time, it is fundamental for making a decision by the employee’s superior. There is an ongoing discussion on the composition of the attestation commission; and options for the selection of independent experts are proposed. Discussion: dismissal due to the loss of trust is a specific type of disciplinary penalty, and its implementation is carried out by authorized management entities within the framework of disciplinary proceedings. The procedure for making a decision on the dismissal of employees of the penal system due to the loss of trust needs further improvement in its legal and organizational aspects, taking into account modern law enforcement and judicial practice.
