Morozova A.L. THE STUDY OF WORLD JUDICIAL PRACTICE IN THE COURSE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LAWYER’S LABOR FUNCTIONS WHILE TEACHING LEGAL ENGLISHThe priorities for the development of higher education today lie in the field of improving the professional training of university graduates in all areas, in particular, improving the level of English proficiency in the specialty. Special attention of the higher school is paid to the development of the labour functions of future specialists, namely future lawyers, therefore, turning to the study of world judicial practice when teaching legal English seems logical and promising. It is established that the developers of the current Federal State Educational Standard recommend universities and departments to consider the labour functions of specialists verified in the relevant professional standards when designing the content of education in academic disciplines. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to study the methodological potential of referring to the precedents of world judicial practice (Landmark cases) in the framework of Common and International Law during the Legalese teaching to full-time law students in the field of development of their labour functions. The accumulated experience in designing an educational track in Legalese at the Financial University of Moscow and a brief analysis of the scientific works of research teachers allowed us to establish that during the development of the content of education in a foreign language, it is possible to rely on four labor functions of a lawyer, stated in the Draft professional standard «Lawyer», which corresponds to the ideas of the CLIL– approach. Here the author appealed to the methodological potential of a highly professional method of legal analysis of a legal problem – the IRAC method – when teaching Legalese based on their labour functions. The potential of using the IRAC method in the development of the lawyer’s labour functions during the study of legal English is revealed, based on: the communicative method, the moot court, the case method and discussion. The results obtained indicate the effectiveness of the work done in the field under study and allow us to outline possible promising areas of development in the designated area.Key words: students, lawyer’s labour functions, CLIL– approach, ESP, case method, communicative method, moot court, discussion, IRAC method
