Criteria for Professions of Public Trust

Summary/Abstract: The text discusses the functions and features of the concept of public trust professions in Polish lawand the limitations to the performance of such professions in the light of national regulations, se-lected aspects of practice, and international documents. A constitutive feature of these professionsis the trust associated with the acquisition of the right to perform a specific function and profes-sion. People who practice this type of profession enjoy a special status, which is associated not onlywith prestige but also the elitist character of their work. For the sake of clarity, and bearing in mindthe purposes of this text, the criteria defining this special status are divided into two types: externalones, established in the constitutional and legislative framework, in particular related to the con-stitutionally distinguishing feature, i.e. the feature of public trust, and internal ones, established bythe professionals themselves.
