Abstract

Using a combination of scientific methods such as comparative and logical-semantic, the article analyzes one of the objective signs of the composition of a criminal offense, which refers to the attempt on the life of a defense lawyer or representative of a person in connection with activities related to the provision of legal assistance. The point of view of scientists on the view of this problem, which relates not only to the noted crime, but also, to the problems of justice in general, is subject to criticism. Bringing a person to criminal responsibility should always be related to the establishment of a socially dangerous act, specific to the actions of a particular person. Under such conditions, it will allow to comply with the letter of the law and ensure the protection and provision of their constitutional rights and freedoms to every citizen. Everything allows to conclude that, the attempted murder of the indicated persons or their close relatives in connection with the activities related to the provision of legal aid can also be committed, both by action and omission. This crime (in the specified form) refers to the intangible component.
