Prosecutors’ Day in Ukraine Date in the current year: December 1, 2024

It's believed, that the legislative system of Ukraine started its formation in the 16th century. In 1587 the general sejm of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (at that time the territory of Ukraine belonged to it) decided to form the Lutsk Tribunal, that became the first superior court in Ukraine. The Tribunal was formed in 1588 and the deputies started annually to elect the prosecutor, whose duty was supervision of the order of the presentation of claims in the court.

The present-day Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine was created on December 1, 1991 after declaration of independence from the Soviet Union. Celebration of Prosecutors' Day commemorates this important date.
