Prosecutors’ Day is observed in Ukraine every December 1, celebrating the vital role of Ukrainian prosecutors in protecting human rights and contributing to the legislative state. This professional day was established by Presidential Decree in 2000, commemorating the creation of the modern Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine on December 1, 1991, following the country's independence from the Soviet Union. The origins of Ukraine's legislative system date back to the 16th century, notably with the formation of the Lutsk Tribunal in 1588, which was the first superior court in Ukraine. On this day, various events and activities may be organized to honor the contributions of prosecutors to the legal system and society.
