The article highlights that, in the legal literature, the authors, for obvious reasons, focus mainly on the analysis of the professional side of the life of lawyers. While the non-professional side of their life stays out of the researchers’ attention. Meanwhile, both sides have an impact on each other and interrelate to a certain extent. Thus, the issues associated with the lawyers’ interest to topics covered by the mass media are interesting not only for scientific but also for practical purposes. In this regard, the article presents the results of the author’s sociological study of the professional culture of lawyers. It is shown how the work experience, age and other factors influence the interest of lawyers in the topics covered by the mass media.
