MNUI

Moscow new legal institute established over twenty years ago, in 1993. This is a non-state institution. The profiles and directions in which the training takes place are as follows: jurisprudence, economics, management. According to qualifications, only a specialist and a bachelor's degree, there is no master's degree. Graduates receive a state diploma. All teachers among them 85% have scientific titles and degrees. Young men of draft age are entitled to a deferment from the army. The teaching schedule is flexible, practiced. There is distance learning for students.

The Moscow New Law Institute has five regional branches (Yubileiny, Bryansk, Sochi, Sovetsk, Tuchkovo). The educational process in the branches is also carried out by highly qualified specialists. For example, the branch of the Moscow New Law Institute in the village of Tuchkovo is in no way inferior to the main university, although it is the youngest. Most likely, this is due to the proximity to Moscow.

Result of MNUI monitoring

Unfortunately, this institute did not show high results, the indicator is two points out of seven. The average passing score for the USE is 48.32, which also does not indicate the height of the indicators. The Moscow New Law Institute does not provide budgetary places.

2534 students study at MNUI at the same time, only six of them are full-time students, which is explained by high tuition fees. The full-time part-time form is paid with a smaller amount, so there are 51 students in this department, which, of course, is also not enough. The rest study in absentia, it's even cheaper. Among the huge number of universities that train future lawyers, you can choose a more prestigious one than MNUI. The Moscow New Law Institute is not among the best Moscow universities.

PMUI

The Ministry of Education and Science conducted monitoring, based on the conclusions of which we can say that this university is worthy. It is quite young, it was founded in 1992, and it is not large - only 331 students attend the First Moscow Law Institute. The result of the rating is six points out of seven, not bad. According to the Unified State Examination, the average passing score upon admission is also higher - 64.01. Budget education is not provided for at this institute either. The First Moscow Institute of Law is a non-state institution with rather expensive education.

Nevertheless, students prefer to study full-time, there are 183 of them in this department, the rest are almost equally divided for part-time and part-time departments. Moreover, not all students of this university are Russians, the institute willingly accepts visitors from abroad to study. First, humanities and socio-economic subjects are studied here, and in subsequent courses - general professional disciplines and highly specialized ones. After graduation, graduates are easily employed in the courts, internal affairs, prosecutors, notaries and security services, advocacy and many other organizations, regardless of whether they belong to the state or not. It makes sense for applicants to think and choose this particular Moscow law institute.

Student Feedback

The general impression after reading the reviews is that students love their university, and graduates remember it warmly. Many write about the quality of distance education, which turned out to be on top: a convenient form for teaching adults and busy people. Teachers give detailed consultations, if questions arise or difficulties are encountered, there is no refusal.

They also write that textbooks and manuals contain material presented in an understandable and accessible language. Mandatory verification tests comfortable. There is a high level of knowledge due to thoughtful programs. There are many such constructive reviews, but most of them contain gratitude to the teachers for the fact that the graduates did not regret their choice - the First Moscow Law Institute gave graduates tickets to real life.

Financial University

The Financial University has a Faculty of Law in its composition, where it trains lawyers of the same highest quality as banking professionals who have received a diploma from this university. The university has twenty-four faculties, twelve subordinate overall structure institutes, two higher schools and four laboratories. Education here is given according to innovative technologies, where a system of continuous education is encouraged, including pre-university training, and retraining, and the second VO.

The rating of this university is very high - class "B" (it should be noted that class "A", which means an exceptionally high level, was received only by Moscow State University). From the Ministry of Education and Science, the Financial University received six points out of seven, which is also very high mark. It is worth noting that not every educational institution from those represented by Moscow law institutes will be included in the BRICS countries. This university is in.

Hostels are provided.

MFUA

This is a financial and legal university, formerly an academy, now a university. It was founded in 1990, but in this short time it turned out that other Moscow law institutes are very serious competitors to this university: the rating from the Ministry of Education and Science is two points out of seven - not enough. The average passing score is also not very high: 54.92. However, the Moscow Financial and Law University is considered the best among accredited non-state universities. This is because this institution gives students thirty-eight majors plus twelve postgraduate majors.

There are bachelor's, specialist's and master's degrees. Senior students get internships in the IT and financial and legal clinic of the university, where they provide free consultations to everyone.

RAAN

The Russian Academy trains highly qualified specialists - the bar and notaries. Students receive a state diploma, therefore they always apply for a well-going career in law.

The university is non-state, but accredited by the state. Formed in 1992. It is considered one of the leading educational institutions providing legal and economic education.

This means that only a very purposeful applicant will be able to enter here even for a paid form of education. The university has an excellent technical base.

The total number of students is 7241, of which 4098 are full-time students, that is, a lot. Good hostels in Moscow and in four branches - Vologda, Kirov, Magadan, Orenburg.

The profession of a lawyer is to question everything, to disagree with everything, and to talk endlessly.

T. Jefferson

At all times and in all countries it has been popular and in demand. In recent decades, the profession in Russia has become prestigious and highly paid: a mid-level lawyer earns 2 times more than an 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 of higher 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.

Law universities in Moscow are considered the most prestigious universities. But it is precisely this advantage that is also a disadvantage in admission. In specialized legal institutes, universities, academies, there is traditionally 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 be able to work only 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 at a 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 field of international relations and law. But here you will need knowledge of English at the level of a language university.

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 recognized:

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

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

Will Rogers

Among the non-state universities accredited by the state, the leaders in legal education are:

• 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. AT 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 - Prime 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!

In 2016, Moscow State Law University named after O.E. Kutafin (MSLA), one of the leading law schools in Russia, celebrated its 85th anniversary.

From 1931 to the present day, a long way has been covered from the Central Correspondence Courses of Soviet Law, which, after consolidation and several renamings, have become an authoritative educational institution that trains lawyers - the All-Union Correspondence Law Institute (VYUZI), to the flagship of domestic legal education. Many of those who today make up the legal elite of the country studied here. Being a graduate of the University is not only honorable, but also authoritative.

Moscow State Law Academy is not just an educational institution, but a real Alma Mater for students. Students receive fundamental theoretical knowledge, practical skills and, no less important, the spirit of the profession. They bring up the moral qualities of real lawyers: purposefulness, the ability to lead a discussion, love for people and their work. It is this approach that makes it possible to educate real professionals in their field and successors. long tradition legal education. Undoubtedly, this is the merit of the faculty of the University, its "golden fund".
Alexander Torshin, a graduate of the VYUZI in 1978, Secretary of State, Deputy Head of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, recalls his mentors with reverence: “Our teachers not only gave knowledge. They instilled a taste for the legal profession. This is not an attitude towards a person. The approach was almost individual. When the professors came out, it was immediately clear that they were celestials. The qualification was such and lecturer's art at such a level that you immediately understood: in front of you is a master!

During its activity, the University has trained and graduated over 180,000 specialists with higher legal education. The University is proud of its graduates, among whom are many well-known, honored lawyers and outstanding scientists.

AT different years Prominent domestic lawyers worked at the University: Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, laureate of the Presidential Prize, co-chairman of the Association of Lawyers of Russia Oleg Kutafin, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, laureate of the State Prize of the USSR Vladimir Kudryavtsev, professors Anatoly Vengerov, Mark Gurvich, Boris Zdravomyslov, Yuri Kozlov, Polina Lupinskaya, Valentin Martemyanov, Stepan Mitrichev, Vladimir Ryasentsev, Valentina Tolkunova, Zinovy ​​Chernilovsky, Maria Shakaryan, Anton Vasiliev and other legal scholars.

Today, the educational process and research work at the University is provided by 14 institutes, 3 branches, 31 departments. The University has more than 20 scientific schools and directions. The teaching staff includes over 890 teachers, among them one corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, at least 180 doctors and 520 candidates of sciences, 30 honored lawyers of the Russian Federation, 13 honored scientists of the Russian Federation, more than 70 honorary workers of higher professional education of the Russian Federation .

About 13,000 students are studying at the University at the same time, more than 400 graduate students and applicants are being trained, 350 foreign citizens. The process of teaching students in accordance with the requirements of the present is in constant development.

The development of legal education follows the path of profiling. In this regard, truly unique areas are being developed at MSLA (corporate, competition, sports law), new Institutes are being created in which students study (Institute of Business Law, Institute of Modern Applied Law, Institute of Forensic Expertise, etc.), which have no analogues not only in our country, but also abroad.

1931 was a turning point for correspondence legal education in the RSFSR.

There was a shortage of legal personnel in the country. Until that time, the training of lawyers in absentia was carried out at the faculties of Soviet law, the largest of which was the faculty at the Moscow state university(formed in 1927).

On March 21, 1931, at the collegium of the People's Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR, it was decided to transform the former faculties of Soviet law into independent institutions.

On June 1, 1931, the Regulations on the Moscow Institute of Soviet Law were adopted. P.I. was appointed the first director of the Moscow Institute of Soviet Law. Knock. At the same time, the Board of the People's Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR decided to organize correspondence courses for the training and retraining of lawyers.

The issues of organization of law schools and training of personnel of justice workers were considered at the 5th meeting of leading workers of justice on July 18, 1931. The resolution adopted at it noted that “for the speedy training and retraining of workers of Soviet justice without separating them from direct practical work Correspondence courses in legal education should be organized as part of the Moscow Institute of Soviet Law.

On December 26, 1931, the Collegium of the NKJ of the RSFSR adopts the Regulations on Correspondence Education in Soviet Law. In accordance with this document, correspondence education was managed by the Central Correspondence Courses of Soviet Law, which were equated with a correspondence legal university, and in a circular dated January 13, 1932, they were called the Correspondence Institute of Soviet Law.

On October 21, 1933, the Board of the NKJ of the RSFSR transformed the Central Correspondence Courses of Soviet Law into the Central Correspondence Institute of Soviet Law (TsZISP) with the status of a sector of correspondence legal education of the Department for Training and Retraining of Personnel of the NKJ of the RSFSR. The task of the institute included training, retraining and advanced training in the form of distance learning of judicial and prosecutorial workers, legal advisers and employees of economic and state institutions.

By the Decree of the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of March 5, 1935 "On measures to expand and improve legal education", the institutions of Soviet law that existed at that time were renamed legal institutions. The Central Correspondence Institute of Soviet Law became known as the Central Correspondence Legal Institute (TsZPI).

Later, by the Decree of the People's Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR of July 3, 1936, legal institutions received the names of legal ones. The Central Correspondence Law Institute became the Central Law Correspondence Institute (CJUZI).

The Institute had 7 sectors on the territory of the RSFSR with 36 consultation points and 8 branches: in Kharkov, Minsk, Tiflis (Tbilisi), Baku, Yerevan, Tashkent, Stalinabad, Ashgabat, i.e. actually became all-Union.

Professor Serbsky "The Central Law Correspondence Institute received a new name, which was worn for 63 years - the All-Union Law Correspondence Institute (VYUZI).

On October 18, 1940, by the Decree of the Collegium of the NKJ of the USSR, the All-Union Correspondence Law Academy was attached to the VYUZI. That's when it really started scientific work. The first issue of "Scientific Notes of the VYUZI" has been published.

In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR No. 421 dated May 18, 1956, an evening faculty was opened in Moscow at the VYUZI.

By 1960, VYUZI had 6 correspondence faculties (Moscow, Kuibyshev (Samara), Krasnodar, Khabarovsk, Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod), Ivanovo) and 6 educational and consulting centers (Orenburg, Kaliningrad, Magadan, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Ordzhonikidze (Vladikavkaz).

In 1987, O.E. Kutafin for the first time in Soviet practice high school was elected rector of the WUZI at a meeting of the Academic Council (on an alternative basis).

On February 10, 1988, by order of the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR No. 98, full-time education was opened at VYUZI.

On September 26, 1990, on the basis of the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 974, VYUZI was transformed into the Moscow Law Institute (MUI) (order of the USSR State Education Committee dated October 17, 1990 No. 660), since the full-time form of education in no way corresponded to the preservation of the word "correspondence" in the name.

On October 6, 1993, the Moscow Law Institute was renamed into the Moscow State Law Academy (in accordance with the order of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Higher Education No. 245 dated 06.10.1993).

The main building of the University is located in the historical place of Moscow. The village of Kudrino has been mentioned in chronicles since 1412. Once it was the property of the Novinsky Monastery, and before that, Serpukhov Prince Vladimir the Brave owned these lands, cousin Dmitry Donskoy.

In 1764, the Novinsky Monastery fell into disrepair, and its lands were transferred to buildings for officers and officials. On the site where the University is now located, there was a city estate that belonged to the nobleman Vysotsky G.P. According to the tradition of that time, the building was a series of interconnected wooden structures.

In 1812, at the time of Napoleon's arrival in Moscow, most of the village of Kudrin burned out. The property of Vysotsky also burned down. The court adviser Khilkov I.A. became the owner of the estate. He laid out a garden on the estate, erected several buildings, which he rented out. Then the property was acquired by the Countess Kreutz, and in 1899 it was bought from her by the city.

In 1901, according to the project of the architect Nikiforov A.A. a three-story building for the Moscow real school was built here. It has survived to this day (it houses the first academic building of the University). On the site of the garden, stone residential buildings were erected for teachers and servants of the school.

Over the years, well-known domestic lawyers worked at the University: Vengerov A.B., Gurvich M.A., Martemyanov V.S., Mitrichev S.P., Kozlova E.I., Lupinskaya P.A., Ryasentsev V.A. ., Rovinsky E.A., Titov Yu.P., Chernilovsky Z.M., Shakaryan M.S., Shishov O.F. and many others.

BLACK AND WHITE WAR

And black and white shadows
Long closed ranks
On the battlefield
On the field of scarlet war,
Where now forget-me-nots bloom,
Where is now memory is alive,
Where is the eternal flame for a day,
Don't drop your banners.
