The main purpose of the article is to determine the place and functional purpose of advocacy in the mechanism for ensuring and implementing the right to free legal assistance in Ukraine. The methodological basis of scientific work is a set of general and special scientific methods and techniques of cognition, which are used in an integrated manner to solve the problems posed in the research work. Methods of classification and grouping made it possible to systematize legal assistance in Ukraine, as well as the functional component that the Institute of Defense (as a professional association of lawyers in Ukraine) plays in the process of realizing the right to legal assistance. The use of the comparative legal method, as well as synthesis and analysis, turned out to be useful in determining the role and place of the institution of protection in terms of realizing the right to free legal assistance in comparison with other legal institutions. The conclusion is substantiated that the function of the state in matters of human rights is most fully manifested in the practical activities of the institution of protection and only partially in the activities of other entities providing legal assistance.
