Abstract
The article analyzes the current state of the legal education reform in Ukraine. It also considers the directions and methods of reforming of the domestic system of legal education, which takes into account the requirements of the pro-European vector of development of higher education in Ukraine. The article reviews the work of leading theorists and practitioners on reforming higher legal education. It also considers different points of view and the author expresses personal point of view of the problem. Analysis of the source base and current trends in reforming the system of higher legal education in Ukraine indicates an insufficient level of development of the topic, which determines its relevance. The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine acts as a regulator of the education market and takes a number of measures to optimize it. Thus, a draft Concept of Legal Education Reform for legal education has been developed. A critical analysis of some of the project's provisions revealed contradictory provisions that could negatively affect the state of legal education in Ukraine. The authors emphasize that in Ukraine, free educational institutions with specific training conditions, in particular those that are in the system of Interior Ministry of Ukraine, should continue to coexist with classical legal institutions of higher education. These institutions have already become powerful educational conglomerates for the training applicants for higher education for their further employment in the police, as well as in public and private institutions in various specialties – economic security, information security, management. The article also focuses on the inappropriateness of the full transfering of the educational experience of economically powerful countries to Ukraine. It has led to a conclusion that the gradual reorientation of the domestic market to European quality standards gave impetus to reform of the legal education system to the best world practices, but our traditions, national legislation, potential and experience in building unique domestic law schools should not be forgotten or neglected.
