Проблемы развития юридического образования в России во второй половине XIX — начале XX века

Abstract

Purpose. The priceless historical legacy that the 19th century left us, including in the development of legal science and education, requires a comprehensive, deep understanding. The trends in the development of legal education are important to follow and take into account the experience of solving the problems faced by postreform Russia when choosing methods and approaches to higher legal education, to consider the opinions of contemporaries about the quality of legal training. Methodology: methods of dialectical logic, historical-legal, historical-dynamic and causal analysis were used. Conclusions. A serious incentive to increase the prestige of legal education was the introduction of an educational qualification for obtaining positions in the new judicial system. At the same time, it was necessary to search for an optimal model for training legal personnel capable of implementing the principles proclaimed by the judicial reform in practice. Attempts were made to find a balance between obtaining fundamental theoretical knowledge and obtaining practical legal skills. Scientific and practical significance. Modern universities that train lawyers face problems that are Largely consonant with those that Russia faced in the second half of the XIX — early XX centuries. This primarily concerns the quality of legal personnel training, the formation of competencies aimed at developing legal thinking, and the readiness to make legal decisions independently. In this regard, the experience of the past can suggest the right approaches when choosing modern standards and teaching models.
