Since 2018, the ‘Leaders of Law’ national competition has brought together 1,500 young lawyers from 53 regions of Russia. The competition helps to find and develop talented and proactive young law researchers in order to ensure their further professional adaptation and self-realization in state and municipal administration, law enforcement, and socio-political, commercial, and non-commercial activities, as well as enhance the prestige of legal education. In 2025, over 50 teams from various cities of Russia took part in the qualifying stage of the competition. Fourteen teams with the most creative, relevant, and well-developed legislative initiatives reached the final of the competition. The event aims to promote the development of lawmaking and get young professionals involved in the process of shaping the legal system.
