"I applaud Ukraine because, regardless of the difficult conditions, the Ukrainian government continues the judicial reform process, which tells us a lot about its ability to carry out such work. At the same time, I am impressed with the level of work of the Ukrainian advocates and legal professionals I meet. They are highly professional people," Ellis said.
He is confident that the Ukrainian Bar Association represents the Ukrainian legal community well in the international arena and that the lawyers he meets in Ukraine are of a very high standard. He also shared his impressions of the free legal aid system.
"I was very impressed with the efforts made by Ukraine’s Legal Aid system to provide legal advice to those who really need it. I would like to once again recognize the advocates who spend not only their working time but also their personal time to provide relevant advice", said the lawyer.
He believes that Ukrainian society understands the important role lawyers play in it. Ellis also praised the Ukrainian judicial system.
"I have met and worked with numerous judges in Ukraine and have been impressed by their work. Therefore, I have every reason to trust the Ukrainian judicial system. As for the lawyer, I trust my own experience and will represent myself",
