 To achieve this goal, the author used a set of general and special methods that are characteristic of legal science. The research was conducted using primarily statistical and sociological methods, system-structural and formal-dogmatic methods, as well as the dialectical method of knowledge of legal reality.
 This article analyzes the practical activities of bar associations, in particular the National Bar Association of Ukraine, in the context of armed aggression by russia. It is concluded that in order to improve the quality of advocacy, primarily on a free basis, the National Bar Association of Ukraine established a Center for Methodological Assistance and Coordination of Volunteer Assistance to Military Servicemen. Also, the National Association of Advocates of Ukraine and the Bar Councils of the respective regions took many different measures to address pressing issues of protection of the rights and interests of citizens, servicemen and lawyers themselves.
 Emphasis is also placed on the activities of the Board of Trustees of the National Bar Association of Ukraine and foreign partners in assisting Ukrainian lawyers. The position is argued that the number of national professional organizations (associations) of lawyers, law firms and law firms, as well as ordinary lawyers from all over the civilized world, united by the desire to support Ukrainian lawyers and Ukrainians in general and provide them with various assistance, is incredible. which they need in connection with russia's military aggression.
