The Russian advocate (advokat) is a specific type of Russian lawyer, representing “clients in court and provid[ing] legal and written advice.” They are unique in having a duty, from the 1993 Russian Constitution, to protect the rights of citizens. Students of Russian legal and constitutional reform, and those interested in modern Russian politics will benefit from Pamela Jordan's thorough study of the postSoviet era advocate reforms. Moreover, Jordan’s work is also of value to comparative legal scholars studying the nexus of legal thought and practice. The author employs a historical institutionalism perspective to examine how the Russian bar associations (advokatura), as actors in this legal profession, are bound by their institution's history. Their choices can be seen as a function of this past, while still permitting major reforms under a powerful external influence. Jordan supplements this analysis with a decade’s worth of empirical evidence collected from select locales across Russia. While not extensive enough to draw rigorous conclusions, her interviews and surveys help contextualize statutory reforms and the concerns of individual advocates.
