The need for lectures is due to the development of a legal state, the existence of which is impossible without an appropriate level of legal culture of its citizens, a transformation of the legal system, the need to overcome legal nihilism and legal illiteracy.

During the course of legal lectures, questions were considered and discussed on the accession of pupils to a legal culture that enriches their spiritual life, and their knowledge of their rights and obligations expands the possibilities for their self-realization. Now studying young people lack legal knowledge and experience in legal relations, they must learn the legal laws governing their social relations as minors, and the legal norms that they will have to follow in the future.
