COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LEGAL EDUCATION PRACTICES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

Abstract

Legal education varies significantly across countries due to differences in legal traditions, pedagogical approaches, and curriculum structures. This article presents a comparative analysis of legal education practices in selected foreign countries, highlighting the similarities and differences in teaching methods, assessment techniques, and the integration of practical skills. The study examines how various educational systems prepare law students for professional legal practice, including the development of analytical thinking, legal reasoning, and ethical decision-making. Special attention, which is given to interactive learning methods such as moot courts, debates, and clinical legal education, which bridge the gap between theory and practice. The findings suggest that comparative insights can inform the improvement of domestic legal education programs by adopting best practices from international experiences. The study emphasizes the importance of adapting teaching strategies to local contexts while maintaining global standards of legal competence.
