Status and directions of perspective of the development of legal education: analysis of international experience
Abstract
The current situation of legal education is analyzed. In the modern world, quality legal education is a key component in ensuring the proper functioning of the entire legal system. Legal science began to appear fragmented and improved in ancient times. This is particularly true for Ancient Greece and later Ancient Rome, where legal doctrine and its practical application began to gain importance in society. Today, the field of law is closely related to the branches of public management and administration, as well as to the political sphere. Considering legal education in a broad historical context, researchers highlight its importance for everyday relationships between subjects of social relations. Thanks to the field of systematized knowledge about the essence, content, and characteristics of the law (i.e., jurisprudence), representatives of a society can obtain more information about the rules and mechanisms by which the relationship between them is arranged. It is concluded that legaleducation contributes to detailing the knowledge about the socio-political and social phenomena that surround us and provides this knowledge to citizens who need it.
