Abstract
This article explores stress resilience as a fundamental psychological and professional competence in advocacy. Modern legal practice is characterized by high levels of emotional tension, responsibility, and uncertainty, which significantly influence lawyers’ performance, decision-making, and overall well-being. Drawing on classical stress theories developed by Walter Cannon and Hans Selye, as well as contemporary coping theory proposed by Richard Lazarus, the article analyzes the nature, types, and stages of stress in legal practice. Particular attention is given to coping strategies, emotional intelligence, and psychological competence as key mechanisms for managing stress. The study also highlights the specific stress factors inherent in advocacy, including conflict-driven environments, emotional engagement with clients, and information overload. It is argued that strengthening stress resilience enhances professional efficiency, reduces burnout risks, and contributes to the quality of legal services and public trust in the legal system.
