The article defines the category of “knowledge of the law”, reveals their components ‒ the level, scope and content of legal information. The relation between the concepts of “information” and “knowledge” has been established. Necessary and sufficient legal knowledge for the future teacher of history and jurisprudence have been identified, which includes: a system of historical, legal and psychological-pedagogical knowledge necessary and sufficient for professional activity, their breadth, volume, depth; mastering the process of acquiring this knowledge with subsequent use of it in educational and legal activities; focus on studying the law, legal literature, solving legal situations and considering social and legal problems, seeking information on changes in the social and legal life of society and the state, studying historical and legal disciplines, the legal status of a person, free operation of elementary legal concepts, awareness of the need for legal knowledge, knowledge of human and child rights in future professional activity and their proper application in defending their views, positions. The levels of legal knowledge sufficiency are set: high, medium, low, according to the characteristics: breadth of legal knowledge, their volume, depth. The high level includes students whose breadth, volume, depth of legal knowledge make it possible to always find the right legal criterion for personal action, on the one hand, and on the other, require legitimate behaviour and correct judgment from others. For intermediate-level students, interest in legal knowledge is limited to the “required” curriculum. Students with low levels of interest in law are unstable, with many gaps in legal knowledge. In general, the level of knowledge is insufficient to understand legal relations. Students do not have the necessary skills and abilities to conduct law enforcement work with students.

New Form

Due to the transition of higher educational institutions to remote functioning in the spring of 2020 and the impossibility of conducting nursing practice on the basis of medical establishments it became necessary to create a new form of having classes that would allow students to master practical skills without contacting patients. The article presents the author's methodology of remote practical training in class to obtain professional skills and experience of professional activity (nursing) at the medical faculty. The author offers simple methods of making moulages for students to master practical skills and describes the methodology of organizing and conducting distance classes using these moulages. The pedagogical analysis of one of the classes is carried out. It is shown that the new form of conducting classes allows to individualize the work with students and help each student achieve perfection in mastering the methods of nursing manipulations. The method of giving remote classes described by the author can be used by teachers at practical training in the future, in classes on “nursing” at the medical faculty, in institutes of higher nursing education, and after the removal of epidemiological restrictions imposed due to the spread of a new coronavirus infection, for remote counseling of students undergoing nursing practice in medical establishments outside the Saratov region.

Surprisingly, there are no official authoritative series of law reports in England to equate with the Queen’s Printers copy of an Act of Parliament. The Stationery Office is responsible for publishing revenue, immigration and social security law cases. However, traditionally, law reports remain in the hands of private publishers. Today, there are numerous, often competitive, private publishers. Although there are no official series of law reports, the courts do respect some reports more than others. A long established, conventional rule is that a law report, if it is to be accepted by the relevant court as an authority, must be prepared by and published under the name of a fully qualified barrister. The greater accuracy of modern reporting, and the vetting by judges, necessitates longer delays before the cases are published. Also, the Law Reports only cover 7% of the cases in the higher courts in any given year. Interesting issues are: (a) who selects which cases to report? (b) how are they selected? Editors select the cases for inclusion in the series of law reports. These are highly trained lawyers, well acquainted with precedent and the likely importance of cases. During the past 150 years publishers of law reports have been generalists or specialists. Some law reports are annotated, particularly for the use of practitioners, others left without annotations, introductions, etc. In addition to reported cases, the Supreme Court Library contains thousands of files of unreported cases. In 1940, the Lord Chancellor’s Department prepared a report: The Report of the Law Reporting Committee. The Committee considered that, after editors had made their choices, ‘What remains is less likely to be a treasure house than a rubbish heap in which a jewel will rarely, if ever, be discovered’ (p 20). (Note the poetic language that forcefully carries the point.) Of course, today, there is a vast range of electronic retrieval systems for accessing details of thousands of unreported cases. This has caused its own problems and there was a legitimate concern that courts would be inundated with cases that did not really contain any new law, but which had been retrieved from electronic sources. In the case of Roberts Petroleum Ltd v Bernard Kenny Ltd [1983] 2 AC 192, the House of Lords took the step of forbidding the citation of unreported cases of the civil division of the Court of Appeal without special leave. The rule remains, however, that to be an accepted version that can be quoted in court the report must have been prepared and published by a barrister. When law students read law reports they must ask: (a) is this report the most authoritative version available? (b) are there fuller versions? (c) if unreported, does this case add to the law? Figure 4.2, below, sets out the types of reports available for the law student to consult.

Behavioral science can be of assistance to the legal profession in (1) substantive development of the law from interdisciplinary contributions and (2) improvement of professional skills. A questionnaire sent to law professors teaching law and psychiatry and law and society courses reveals some of the innovative programs offered to some law students. Bar associations also are becoming interested in providing continuing education in this area. Professionals of both behavioral science and law should be encouraged to increase areas of communication between the disciplines.

AbstractProfessor Graham Virgo, in delivering the 3rd Willi Steiner Memorial Lecture, asks if it is possible to become a legal practitioner in England and Wales without having studied Law as an academic discipline. Is there any point in studying for a Law degree? Students study any academic subject to acquire knowledge and to develop key skills. This is just as true of students studying Law. But is the knowledge acquired by a Law student and the skills which they develop really of benefit to them in legal practice? Crucially, what can the managers of legal information do to support the particular needs of Law students and academic researchers?
