The thesis provides a theoretical generalisation and a new solution to the scientific task of clarifying the essence and specific features of representation by an attorney-at-law of the interests of persons subject to mobilisation in administrative proceedings, and on the basis of this, develop scientifically sound proposals and recommendations aimed at improving administrative legislation in the area of public life under study. It is emphasised that mobilisation involves accumulation of economic, human and other resources, transformation of the vital activity of the State and the government apparatus during the special period in order to overcome the relevant negative factors which threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty, independence and normal social order or pose other critical risks to the existence and functioning of the entire nation. It is stated that representation of interests of persons subject to mobilisation in administrative proceedings is a model of procedural legal relations regulated by the rules of administrative procedure legislation, whereby an authorised entity performs procedural actions, participates in the consideration of an administrative case in favour of a person who is entrusted with special duties by the Law of Ukraine ‘On Mobilisation Preparation and Mobilisation’ and who applies to administrative justice authorities with a view to ensuring, protecting and realising the rights of such persons. It is proved that the framework of regulatory framework for representation of interests of persons subject to mobilisation within the framework of administrative proceedings is formed by a system of legal regulations of different legal force. Furthermore, it is noted that despite the extensive regulatory and legal material, a number of unresolved issues remain in this area, in particular, the legal status of an attorney-at-law in relations with the actors involved in mobilisation activities; a list of rights of citizens subject to mobilisation, in particular, the right to seek legal assistance from attorneys-at-law; guarantees of observance of the interests of persons subject to mobilisation in administrative proceedings by representing their interests by an attorney-at-law. It is proved that representation of persons subject to mobilisation in administrative proceedings by an attorney-at-law provides for documentary evidence of the latter's procedural powers by the documents listed in the provisions of the Code of Administrative Procedure. They make the advocate's participation in the case legitimate and admissible from the perspective of the law. In view of this, the grounds for procedural representation by an attorney-at-law include: 1) an agreement between the advocate and the person subject to mobilisation; 2) duly executed documents certifying the powers of the representative in accordance with the requirements of the Code of Administrative Procedure.
