There is a true need for establishing a new legal profession: professional legal acts writer. Writing laws and other legal documents isn't that easy to do, especially when it comes to writing general rules of behavior. Those general norms must be so general, to be applicable in any similar future situations, and yet, although very abstract in their content, must be comprehensible to any ordinary man, without any legal knowledge. Law is directed towards ordinary people, and they must understand fully what they are required to do. In this paper we will explain why the professional legal acts' writer must be recognized as the new legal profession and why those people must have some special knowledge and skills, such as:– general and specific legal knowledge in area in which they are working,– good knowledge of the mother tongue, grammar rules and stylistic expression, as wellas the same level of knowledge of at least one other world language (a lot of laws aredealing with legal transplants from other legal systems, it's good to know stylisticdifferences between those two languages),– cultural and historical background of the state in which the law is written ,– have certain level of understanding political circumstances, etc.The author is pleading for this new legal profession, as the result of her 15 years long experience in this area of writing legal acts. The paper presents her personal recommendations and the improvement of this legal work.

Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher . Though he made no writings, he was well known as one of the wisest men of his time . Socrates was always questioning other people's behaviour and thoughts. He especially questioned the collective notion of "might makes right" that he felt was common in Greece during this period. Socrates's paradoxical wisdom made the prominent Athenians he publicly questioned look foolish, turning them against him and leading to accusations of wrongdoing. Socrates defended his role as a gadfly as Plato named him, until the end: at his trial, when Socrates was asked to propose his own punishment, he suggested a wage paid by the government and free dinners for the rest of his life instead, to finance the time he spent as Athens's benefactor. In 399 BC, Socrates went on trial and was found guilty of corrupting the minds of the youth of Athens and for "not believing in the gods of the state", even for creating new gods. He was sentenced to death, caused by the drinking of a mixture containing poison hemlock. But ,would he be sentenced to death according to today's law?
