adwokackie

Adwokackie is a Polish adjective meaning relating to advocates or to the advocacy profession. It is used to describe objects, institutions, or activities connected with the bar, the professional group of licensed lawyers in Poland.

The base noun is adwokat (advocate, lawyer). The adjective forms include adwokacki (masculine), adwokacka (feminine), and adwokackie (neuter/plural). The form adwokackie is used with neuter nouns or to describe plural references, and it commonly appears in phrases describing things associated with the profession.

In practice, adwokackie terms appear in everyday and formal language, for example kancelaria adwokacka (a law firm), środowisko adwokackie (the legal profession community), izba adwokacka (bar association chamber), and prawo adwokackie or adwokackie prawo (advocacy law). The term is also used in references to professional codes and standards, such as adwokacki kodeks etyki (the advocacy code of ethics) and adwokackie przepisy proceduralne (advocacy procedural rules).

The Polish legal system regulates the profession through self-government bodies, notably the Naczelna Rada Adwokacka (Supreme Bar Council) and regional Izby Adwokackie, which oversee admission, ethics, and professional conduct of adwokaci (advocates). As such, adwokackie is a key descriptor in discussions of law, regulation, and practice within the Polish advocacy community.
