The article examines the process of the emergence and formation of professional morality as an objective process for which factors naturally inherent in the professional activity of a lawyer are important. It is professional morality that forms the necessary basis for the transition to the regulation of this activity through codes of professional ethics. The professional code of ethics, becoming a normative document, turns out to be functional if it is based on the previously formed requirements of professional morality that have passed the test of time. At the same time, in conditions of openness and control on the part of public institutions, the code of ethics itself can become a factor in the formation of proper morality in the sphere of public civil service.
