This article examines the process of evolution of the institute of advocacy, from ancient times to the present. The main stages of this historical process are presented, including the judicial reform of 1864, and the post-revolutionary period of 1917, and finally, modernity. A comparative analysis of the pre-reform analogues of the legal profession is given, using the example of solicitors and attorneys with professional advocacy, which arose after the judicial reform of Alexander II.
