The first mention of organizational forms of prosecutorial self-governance in Ukraine was contained in Art. 131 of the Constitution of Ukraine as amended in 1996, which in its original version provided for the appointment of two members of the High Council of Justice by the All-Ukrainian Conference of Prosecutors [1]. Subsequently, Art. 5 of the Law of Ukraine "On the High Council of Justice", adopted in 1998, reflected the similar provision [2]. However, it was only about one subject -the All-Ukrainian Conference of Prosecutors and only about a rather restricted
competence - participation in the formation of the relevant body. Any other powers of the conference, as well as other organizational forms of prosecutorial self-governance, were not normatively defined at that time. Therefore, there are no reasons to talk about the beginning of the full-fledged formation of the institution of prosecutorial self-governance in Ukraine at the times.
