Abstract
The article examines the concept of “functional skills” in the context of ideas and legal regulation in the field of education in the Russian Federation. It also discusses the concept of mentoring and pays special attention to its functions and potential benefits. The specifics of requests from business, the labor market and citizens in the field of legal services are considered. The authors also deal with the possibilities of the mentoring institute for training specialists related to individual professional activities using the example of law students. In addition, the paper highlights the systemic and regular difficulties of law students in the transition from theoretical training to practical activity, the tools and technologies that allow turning mistakes into valuable experience, including the development of emotional intelligence, communication skills and legal techniques. The article discusses one of the possible successful options for building horizontal “mentor-mentee” interaction. The Legal Clinic of the Russian State University for the Humanities has developed an experimental technology for the interaction of professional lawyers, legal mentors and student interns and received the first results of an analysis of the work done. The described model is given a qualitative characteristic.
