problems of a normative, law enforcement, and expert advisory nature. However, the predominance of the theoretical aspect of university education does not allow students to fully develop practical skills. Practice-oriented training of law students makes it possible to ensure the development of relevant competences. The aim of the article is to theoretically substantiate the model of practice–oriented training of students - future lawyers and describe the process of its testing. The article presents the results of experimental work, during which the developed model was implemented in practice. The content of the model is based on activity-oriented, praxeological and systemic approaches and includes the following packages: target (relevance, purpose); methodological (approaches and principles); structural and technological (structure, technologies, tools); evaluative and effective (criteria). The model shows the sequence, the content of the process, and the organizational and pedagogical conditions for the professional training of preservice lawyers. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the fact that the author's original substantiation of the organizational and pedagogical conditions of practice-oriented training of preservice lawyers at the university is presented. The conditions include: software and methodological support for practice-oriented training of preservice lawyers at the university; improving the level of professional competency of teachers in the organization of practice-oriented training of future lawyers; the use of professionally oriented educational technologies. The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that the provisions and conclusions contained in it, the structural and functional model developed by the author, and the organizational and pedagogical conditions for practice-oriented training of preservice lawyers at the university create the basis for scientific and methodological support for practice-oriented training of legal personnel.
