More details Collapse

In 2016, Moscow State Law University named after O.E. Kutafina (MSAL), one of the leading law universities in Russia, celebrated its 85th anniversary.

From 1931 to the present day, a long way has been passed from the Central Correspondence Courses of Soviet Law, which, after consolidation and several renamings, turned into an authoritative educational institution that trains lawyers - the All-Union Legal Correspondence Institute (VYuZI), to the flagship of domestic legal education. Many of those who today constitute the country's legal elite studied here. Being a graduate of the University is not only honorable, but also authoritative.

MSLA is not just an educational institution, but a real Alma Mater for students. Students receive fundamental theoretical knowledge, practical skills and, last but not least, the spirit of the profession. They develop the moral qualities of real lawyers: determination, ability to lead a discussion, love for people and their work. It is this approach that allows us to educate true professionals in their field and continue the long-standing traditions of legal education. Undoubtedly, this is the merit of the University’s teaching staff, its “golden fund”.
A graduate of VYUZ in 1978, State Secretary, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation Alexander Torshin, remembers his mentors with reverence: “Our teachers not only provided knowledge. They instilled a taste for the legal profession. This is not an on-duty attitude towards a person. The approach was almost individual. When the professors came out, it was immediately clear that these were celestials. The qualifications were such and the lecturing skills were at such a level that you immediately understood: this is a master!”

During its existence, the University has trained and graduated over 180,000 specialists with higher legal education. The University is proud of its graduates, among whom there are many famous, honored lawyers and outstanding scientists.

Over the years, prominent domestic legal scholars have worked at the University: Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, laureate of the Presidential Prize, co-chairman of the Association of Lawyers of Russia Oleg Kutafin, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, laureate of the USSR State Prize Vladimir Kudryavtsev, professors Anatoly Vengerov, Mark Gurvich, Boris Zdravomyslov, Yuri Kozlov, Polina Lupinskaya, Valentin Martemyanov, Stepan Mitrichev, Vladimir Ryasentsev, Valentina Tolkunova, Zinovy ​​Chernilovsky, Maria Shakaryan, Anton Vasiliev and other legal scholars.

Today, the educational process and research work at the University are provided by 14 institutes, 3 branches, 31 departments. The University has more than 20 scientific schools and directions. The teaching staff numbers over 890 teachers, among them one corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, at least 180 doctors and 520 candidates of science, 30 honored lawyers of the Russian Federation, 13 honored scientists of the Russian Federation, more than 70 honorary workers of higher professional education of the Russian Federation .

About 13,000 students study at the University at a time, over 400 graduate students and applicants, and 350 foreign citizens are trained. The process of teaching students in accordance with the requirements of the present time is in constant development.

The development of legal education follows the path of profiling. In this regard, truly unique areas are being developed at Moscow State Law Academy (corporate, competition, sports law), new Institutes are being created in which students study (Institute of Business Law, Institute of Modern Applied Law, Institute of Forensic Expertise, etc.), which have no analogues not only in our country, but also abroad.

1931 was a turning point for correspondence legal education in the RSFSR.

There was a shortage of legal personnel in the country. Until this time, the training of lawyers by correspondence was carried out at the faculties of Soviet law, the largest of which was the faculty at Moscow State University (formed in 1927).

On March 21, 1931, at the board of the People's Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR, it was decided to transform the former faculties of Soviet law into independent institutions.

On June 1, 1931, the Regulations on the Moscow Institute of Soviet Law were adopted. P.I. was appointed the first director of the Moscow Institute of Soviet Law. Knock. At the same time, the board of the People's Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR decided to organize correspondence courses for the training and retraining of lawyers.

Issues of organizing law schools and training justice workers were considered at the V meeting of leading justice workers on July 18, 1931. The resolution adopted there noted that “for the speedy training and retraining of Soviet justice workers without interrupting them from direct practical work,” it was necessary to “organize correspondence courses in legal education as part of the Moscow Institute of Soviet Law.”

On December 26, 1931, the Collegium of the People's Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR adopted the Regulations on correspondence education under Soviet law. In accordance with this document, the management of correspondence education was carried out by the Central Correspondence Courses of Soviet Law, which were equated to a correspondence law school, and in the circular of January 13, 1932 they were called the Correspondence Institute of Soviet Law.

On October 21, 1933, the Collegium of the People's Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR transformed the Central Correspondence Courses of Soviet Law into the Central Correspondence Institute of Soviet Law (TsZISP) with the status of the correspondence legal education sector of the Department of Training and Retraining of Personnel of the People's Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR. The mission of the institute included training, retraining and advanced training in the form of correspondence training for judicial and prosecutorial workers, legal advisers and employees of economic and government institutions.

Later, by the Decree of the People's Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR of July 3, 1936, legal institutions received the names legal. The Central Correspondence Law Institute became the Central Correspondence Law Institute (CLCI).

The Institute had 7 sectors with 36 consultation points and 8 branches on the territory of the RSFSR: in Kharkov, Minsk, Tiflis (Tbilisi), Baku, Yerevan, Tashkent, Stalinabad, Ashgabat, i.e. actually became all-Union.

In accordance with the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR No. 703 of April 29, 1937, not intended for publication, “On the transfer to the jurisdiction of the USSR People's Commissariat of Justice of the Moscow, Leningrad and Kazan Law Institutes and the Research Institute of Forensic Psychiatry named after.

That's when the scientific work really began. The first issue of “Scientific Notes of VYUZI” was published.

In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR No. 421 of May 18, 1956, an evening faculty was opened in Moscow at the VYUZ.

By 1960, VYUZI had 6 correspondence faculties (Moscow, Kuibyshev (Samara), Krasnodar, Khabarovsk, Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod), Ivanovo) and 6 educational and consulting points (Orenburg, Kaliningrad, Magadan, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Ordzhonikidze (Vladikavkaz).

On October 6, 1993, the Moscow Law Institute was renamed the Moscow State Law Academy (in accordance with the order of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Higher Education No. 245 of October 6, 1993).

The main building of the University is located in a historical place in Moscow. The village of Kudrino has been mentioned in chronicles since 1412. It was once the property of the Novinsky Monastery, and before that these lands were owned by the Serpukhov prince Vladimir the Brave, cousin of Dmitry Donskoy.

In 1764, the Novinsky Monastery fell into disrepair, and its lands were transferred for development for officers and officials. On the site where the University is now located, there was a city estate that belonged to the nobleman G.P. Vysotsky. According to the tradition of that time, the building was a series of interconnected wooden structures.

In 1812, when Napoleon came to Moscow, most of the village of Kudrina burned down. Vysotsky’s property also burned down. The owner of the estate became court councilor I.A. Khilkov. He laid out a garden on the territory of the estate and erected several buildings, which he rented out. Then the property was acquired by Countess Kreutz, and in 1899 it was bought from her by the city.

In 1901, according to the design of the architect Nikiforov A.A. a three-story building was built here for the Moscow Real School. It has survived to this day (it houses the first academic building of the University). On the site of the garden, stone residential buildings were erected for teachers and school staff.

BLACK AND WHITE WAR

And black and white shadows
They closed ranks long ago
On the battlefield
On the field of the scarlet war,
Where are the forget-me-nots blooming now?
Where now the memory is alive,
Where is the eternal flame for a day,
He will not abandon his banners.
