Popis: The article is devoted to the theoretical and pedagogical aspects of the problem of forming the professional culture of the future lawyer. It actualizes the ideas of the developers of several important humanitarian and scientific theoretical constructions: the legal doctrine of the professional culture of a lawyer, the doctrine of legal consciousness, the philosophy and theory of constructivism, the psychological theory of self-awareness, the sociological concept of mass society, and some others. It is emphasized that the professional culture of a lawyer should be one of the central objects of attention for the community of scientists and legal educators. An insufficient level of study and practical pedagogical use of autogenic aspects of the formation of the specified phenomenon is noted. The conviction is expressed that the valuable content of the ideal model of a lawyer's professional culture testifies to the elitist nature of the legal profession, enables and even dictates the actualization of autogenous components of the process of formation and development of a lawyer's professional culture. It is claimed that the professional culture of a lawyer as a component of the general culture of modern society is subject to the deforming influence of the process of massification, the essence of which is the primitivization of the value-meaning structure of society. Conscious and purposeful personal self-construction is considered as a controversial practice regarding that vector of individual socialization that is connected with the process of massification. Self-construction is interpreted as a creative, integral process based on the developed self-awareness of the individual. This process involves in-depth self-knowledge, worldview self-determination, purposeful self-change, harmonization of these and other sub-processes. It is postulated that the core of personal self-construction is self-knowledge, which is proposed to be understood as an action (construction), an active construction by a person of a model (picture) of the world, in which an important and integral place is occupied by the sufficiently reflected self-concept of the individual. That is, cognition is considered as a process of constructing reality, the "picture" of which determines the parameters of an individual's social activity. The process of personal self-construction is considered in terms of stages, which, according to the author of the article, contributes to a deeper understanding of its structural characteristics. The main pedagogical problem of the practical implementation of the model of formation of the professional culture of a lawyer based on the principles of self-construction is indicated - the awakening of the future lawyer's need for self-knowledge and self-change, the formation of relevant cognitive and behavioral guidelines.
