ABSTRACT This article describes how Russian law schools understand their objectives today and whether there is an ideal model of a jurist to which law schools should conform. Different qualitative methods were used in this study, including a review of the post-Soviet legal education reforms, analysis of regulations governing higher legal education, analysis of websites, and expert semi-structured interviews with heads of law schools. The results demonstrate the difficulties faced by law schools, which are forced to balance the state standards of higher education and external legal, social, economic, and political challenges. The study concludes that law schools are experiencing serious difficulties with respect to understandings of their objectives as well as the current redefinition of the normative ideal model of a jurist. The study also makes it possible to draw conclusions about the importance of legal knowledge, different ways of understanding prestige in the legal profession, and the revival of features of the Soviet model of the “ideal jurist.”

当今俄罗斯法学院的目标：什么是“理想法学家”？

摘要本文介绍了俄罗斯法学院今天如何理解其目标以及法学院是否应遵循的理想法学模型。在这项研究中使用了不同的定性方法，包括对后苏联法律教育改革的回顾，对管理高等法律教育的法规的分析，对网站的分析以及对法学院校长的半结构化专家访谈。结果表明，法学院面临的困难被迫平衡了高等教育的州标准与外部法律，社会，经济和政治挑战。该研究得出的结论是，法学院在理解其目标以及当前对法学家的规范理想模型的重新定义方面正面临严重的困难。
