OPTIMIZATION OF THE TRAINING OF LAW SCHOLARS IN DOMESTIC UNIVERSITIES AT THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY
The article analyzes the system of law scholars’ training in Russian universities that had developed by the end of the 19th century. It is noted that the approval of the new educational standard of 1884 and the development of a new educational trajectory in the period under review were facilitated, first of all, by the liberal reforms of the 1860s and 1870s and subsequent socio-political changes. An analysis is made of various points of view of pre-revolutionary jurists on the issue of finding optimal forms and methods for studying jurisprudence in Russian universities. The author concludes that at the end of the XIX century in the Russian Empire, there was considerable attention to the quality of legal education, which was based on the principle of combining fundamentalism and utilitarianism.
