Results In the course of the study, it was determined that despite the fact that a draft Concept for the Development of Legal Education has been developed, its perfection from the point of view of the prospects for influencing the improvement of the quality of lawyers' training raises many objections. On the basis of a comparative study, it was determined that promising areas for improving the training of lawyers in Ukraine are: the activities of independent agencies to confirm the quality of the services provided, as well as the improvement of regulatory regulation, which implies access to the profession. Originality. In the course of the study, it was established that the improvement of the quality of training of lawyers in Ukraine should occur through natural development: a specially authorized body should establish only compliance with accreditation requirements; the institution of higher education must, taking into account the principle of autonomy, ensure an appropriate level of quality in the provision of educational services; access to certain legal professions requires significant procedural improvements. The draft Concept for the development of legal education at the moment needs substantial revision, as well as to provide an understanding of the impact of previous reform steps in the field of education, cannot be adopted in the near future. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in law-making activities to improve the norms of the current legislation providing for access to legal professions, as well as for further scientific research of the problems of legal education in Ukraine.
