Westernization of Legal Science and Education: Results and Ways to Overcome
Abstract
This article examines some of the problems that have accumulated in the Russian higher education system. One of these problems is the Westernization of legal education and science, which has been consistently carried out over a long period of time. At the moment, this has led to certain contradictions between the goal-setting of strategic development and those approaches that still persist in the field of education to this day. The article talks about the need to revise some legal models and doctrines that have actually acquired an axiomatic character in legal science and education. In addition, the pros and cons of Westernization are shown.
