On the 25th of November 2014 the Senior Lecturer of Department of Theory and History of State and Law Tetiana Bolotna organized and carried out the discussion “Legal education as a basis of legal life” for senior pupils of school №254as part of career guidance.
This theme is very topical as there is a problem of teenagers and youth legal education.The aim of the event was to draw teenagers’ attention to the problem of legal education that will help them to overcome first life difficulties, not to follow a criminal way. Teenagers have to be aware that realization of particular rights is impossible without particular obligations before people surrounding you. The school authority considers legal education to become one of the primary areas in the work of teachers, lawyers, law-enforcement agencies in their fight with criminal. Their work should be founded on the principles of humanism and democracy.
