Legal education is key to the development of legal awareness and a legal culture. And the degree to which legal professionals are qualified has a direct bearing on virtually all areas of life, both in terms of society and the state. What’s more, legal education carries with it the mission of law to a degree. The legal system requires a constant influx of qualified, knowledgeable, and professional personnel. In turn, employers play an important role in evaluating the quality of legal education. The demand for and interest in personnel can be viewed as trust in a certain qualification. What are the main issues facing legal education? What can be done to gain a genuine understanding of the level of legal education in Russia? What potential does Russia’s legal education system have, and what needs to be done for it to develop further?
