Legal education as constitutional value: Problems of forming the student’s legal culture

Introduction. The specifi cs of modern professional legal education are inherently linked with the need to form the legal culture of a lawyer, which is an important constitutional value. The fundamental paramount role of legal education as a constitutional value is traced not only in the course of formation of sense of justice and the legal culture of future lawyers, but also indirectly, through realization of a professional component: law-making, law-enforcement, law-enforcement activity. In this regard, the formation of the professional legal culture of students in legal education is one of the most important aspects of their studies, and is a prerequisite for the eff ective implementation of national law in their subsequent professional activities. Theoretical analysis.The authors made an attempt to comprehensively study the factors that infl uence the process of forming the professional competencies of future lawyers, in particular their moral orientation, necessary to serve “law.”Empirical analysis. We analyzed the professional competencies that determine the demand for graduates of legal universities on the labor market and are regulated by the Federal Law "On education in the Russian Federation", as well as requirements for lawyers specifi ed by employers. Results. The authors conclude that a carefully organized legal education system can be eff ective only when the legal culture of a lawyer is brought up and formed while training students, with a responsible attitude to the duty to serve the law and the interests of society.
