Prospects for Legal Education in Russia to Be Discussed at SPILF 2022

A session on ‘The Development of Legal Education in the Russian Federation’ will be held at the 10th St. Petersburg International Legal Forum on 30 June 2022.

The event will focus on improving Russia’s legal education system and developing new criteria and approaches to training lawyers directly for state and municipal authorities of all levels.

Participants will discuss current international trends in legal education, analyze the relevance of separating the specializations by type – public, civil, or criminal – and discuss the usefulness of adopting narrower categories of specialization.

“The legal education system directly affects the development of the legal system and the functioning of all state structures. The legal system is in constant need of an influx of qualified young legal personnel with a high level of professionalism and competence,” First Deputy Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation Evgeny Zabarchuk said.

The event will be attended by Valery Falkov, Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation; Anzor Muzaev, Head of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science; Evgeny Zabarchuk, First Deputy Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation; Sergey Kabyshev, Chairman of the Committee of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on Science and Higher Education; Sergey Stepashin, Chairman of the Association of Lawyers of Russia; Olga Alexandrova, Rector of the All-Russian State University of Justice; Victor Blazheyev, Rector of Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL), and Sergey Shakhray, First Vice-Rector of the Moscow State University-PPI in Shenzhen.
