At all times and in all countries it has been popular and in demand. IN recent decades in Russia, the profession has become prestigious and highly paid: an average lawyer earns 2 times more than the average Russian specialist from other industries. Outstanding famous lawyers have fabulous fees, but there are few such professionals.

To become a really good lawyer, you need to choose the right university, study hard, and even after graduation, constantly improve in jurisprudence. Laws and rules for their application are constantly changing, so you need to be aware of innovations.

Due to the popularity of the profession, law faculties were opened in almost all universities in the 90s - economic, pedagogical, technical, and even agricultural. At first, the quality of teaching was at a low level. But gradually the educational process became more High Quality. So with a certain effort of a student, he can become a good lawyer by graduating from the law faculty of a non-core university. Another thing is that employers choose lawyers either with extensive work experience or who have graduated from a serious state specialized university. The lawyer's salary also depends on this.

by the most prestigious universities law schools in Moscow are considered. But it is precisely this advantage that is also a disadvantage in admission. In profile legal institutions, universities, academies traditionally have a huge competition and a high passing score. But the universality of education allows you to find a job in any industry. While, for example, a lawyer who graduated from the Faculty of Law of the Russian State University of Oil and Gas. Gubkin, despite a high-quality education, will only be able to work in the oil and gas industry. It is easier to enter non-state universities, it is cheaper to study and the quality of education is last years is located high level. The only negative is the lack of prestige of the diploma.

In addition to law schools in Russia, you can get an excellent education in foreign universities in the region international relations and rights. But this requires knowledge in English at the language university level.

Rating of the best law schools in Russia has remained unchanged over the years. The personnel officers of prosperous companies in Russia took part in compiling this rating, assigning points to graduates of various law schools. As a result, the best universities are recognized:

• Moscow State University M.V. Lomonosov;
• HSE Higher School of Economics;
• MGIMO;
• St. Petersburg State University;
• Tomsk State University them. V.V. Kuibyshev.

If you don’t understand what you are reading even from the fifth time, it means that a lawyer wrote it.

• Kazan Academy of Management "TISBI";
• Krasnodar Institute of Economics, Law and Natural Sciences;
• Moscow Finance and Law Academy;
• Taganrog Institute of Management and Economics.

In recent years, the Russian economy has been successfully moving from a raw material direction to the production of intellectual products, so there is an urgent need for specialists in the field of legal support for information protection, intellectual property rights and legal support for innovative entrepreneurship.

The profession of a lawyer is not only prestigious, but also implies a high intellectual level. Indeed, in addition to knowledge of the law, knowledge of rhetoric, psychology, and logic is necessary. A presentable appearance, the ability to analyze and convince are very important.

Thanks to legal education, many top leaders of the country were able to make a brilliant career: Vladimir Lenin (Ulyanov), Dmitry Medvedev, Mikhail Gorbachev, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Ruslan Khasbulatov and many others. In foreign countries, the same trend: most US presidents were lawyers by education - John Adams, Thomas Jefferson Andrew Jackson, Lyndon Johnson, John Tyler, Woodrow Wilson, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and others. In Cuba - Fidel Castro, in the UK - the prime minister Minister Tony Blair and his predecessors. The General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is Doctor of Law Xi Jinping. Gerhard Schroeder was the Chancellor of Germany before Angela Merkel. The presidents of the Fifth Republic of France, Francois Mitterrand and Nicolas Sarkozy, were also lawyers.

Every lawyer has the potential to become head of state. Perhaps it will be you. Dare!
