The forms of realization of legal education of senior pupils in the second half of the twentieth century are considered in the article. The essence of different forms of legal education is revealed and the methods of their application in the activity of secondary school are characterized. A special attention is paid to such forms of legal education as a cycle of lectures, a cycle of films, seminars, disputes, the evenings of questions and answers, topical evenings, etc. It is stated that the usage of a cycle of lectures as well as a cycle of films has become a necessary condition for successful realization of legal education increasing the level of motivation among pupils. They have been carried out according to a definite plan and organized due to the interests of senior pupils. Seminars and disputes have played an important role in spreading the legal knowledge. Such forms of legal education helped the pupils to exchange their knowledge in the field of law with each other. The evenings of questions and answers as well as topical evenings have contributed greatly to formation of legal culture of senior pupils. An excursion to different places was also an effective extracurricular form of legal education of senior pupils in the course of which they could apply their theoretical knowledge to practice. During such excursions the senior pupils studied the work of state bodies, enterprises, etc and learned how to satisfy physical and spiritual needs of the citizens. Furthermore, some special circles have been formed in many schools, and experienced lawyers carried out seminars and lectures, organized discussion of urgent issues, demonstrated some films pertaining to legal problems, etc. In their turn, the senior pupils worked on their reports, helped law enforcement workers with problematic pupils, organized some exhibitions and quiz. Therefore, all mentioned above has greatly contributed to the development of positive climate among pupils.
