The author believes that the function of legal expertize should be separated from the advisory authorities of central and local governments and allocates five forms which legal advisory function of the central bodies can take based on the idea that it can be entrusted to various establishments according to an administrative history of a country. They are: 1) the advisory function related to debatable function within the Council of State; 2) the advisory function, attributed to the collegiate body under the Government; 3) the advisory function attached to authorities of an executive power; 4) the advisory function integrated into a governmental body; 5) special institute under the Government, obliged to carry out legal expertize on its inquiries.
