Introduction to the Legal Profession Synergy

65. Students Ivanov and Petrov led a discussion on the profession of a prosecutor. Ivanov believed that the prosecutor is a position that can be held by any person who has reached the appropriate age and has the appropriate education and experience. Petrov objected that the prosecutor is an official who must also have some connection with the state. Therefore, the prosecutor, among other conditions, must necessarily be a citizen of the Russian Federation. Which student is right? Why?
*Ivanov is right, because it doesn’t matter what citizenship a person has, and if he meets the educational and age criteria and was competitively elected, he can take the position of a prosecutor
*Petrov is right, in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, only citizens of the Russian Federation can be prosecutors
* Both Ivanov and Petrov are wrong. In order to be a prosecutor in the Russian Federation, there is no need for citizenship of the Russian Federation, nor for any other additional conditions, except for the presence of a higher legal education
66. Speaking about the appearance of a lawyer, students Ivanov and Alekseev disagreed. Ivanov believed that the appearance of a lawyer is part of professional ethics, which has nothing to do with professional etiquette. Alekseev, on the other hand, believed that appearance was an indicator of professional etiquette. Who is right and why?
*Ivanov is right, because a dress code is a style of clothing set for employees of certain organizations, as well as required to attend certain events. Dress code requirements are set within the rules of professional ethics
* Alekseev is right, because office etiquette is the rules of behavior for a lawyer in society, that is, in the process of interaction with other individuals. Etiquette includes the appearance of a lawyer. The appearance of a lawyer during working hours must correspond to the business attire
*None of the students is right, because the rules of etiquette are part of the professional ethics of a lawyer. Yes, dress code rules are part of etiquette, but etiquette is inseparable from ethics.
67. In 1935, citizen A., after defending his dissertation, was surprised that he was awarded the degree of Candidate of Sciences, and not Doctor of Sciences. As a result, he demanded that the scientific council reconsider its decision. The members of the academic council, in turn, objected to this by saying that in order to obtain a doctorate degree, one must first obtain a candidate's degree. Is the council's decision correct? Why?
*Illegal. Today, we should start from the European system of higher education, according to which the degree of candidate of science does not exist, and the degree of doctor of science is immediately awarded
* It is legal, based on the decision of the Council of People's Commissars (SNK) of the USSR "On Academic Degrees and Titles" dated January 13, 1934. In accordance with this decision, in order to obtain a doctorate degree, a candidate's degree is required
*It is legitimate, since the academic council itself has the right to choose, depending on the performance of applicants, which degree to award them
68. In relation to the investigator, who had committed a disciplinary offense earlier, in his absence due to vacation, a severe reprimand was issued. Returning to work, the investigator decided to appeal against this punishment due to the fact that he considered it unlawful. Is the investigator correct? If yes, why?
* No, the investigator is wrong, because for non-performance or improper performance by an employee of the Investigative Committee of his official duties and committing misconduct that discredits the honor of an employee of the Investigative Committee, disciplinary sanctions are applied to him
*Yes, the investigator is right in this situation, since a disciplinary sanction cannot be applied during the absence of an employee, during his stay on vacation
*No, the investigator is not right, since he has no right to appeal against the decision of a higher body in any case
69. During the consideration of the civil case, the party presented evidence of its position, after which the court indicated that it no longer needed other evidence and was ready to make a decision on the merits. Is it legal? Why?
*Yes, court decision
