Abstract
The purpose of the article is to analyze the problems that arise when diagnosing the level of development of legal culture of students in higher education institutions. The research methods used were the analysis of existing approaches to the diagnostics of legal culture, the development and testing of two diagnostic options, as well as statistical processing of data obtained in the course of an experimental study conducted among first-year students majoring in Media Communications. The results of the work showed that the proposed diagnostic options allow us to assess the level of students' legal culture, identify problem areas and determine areas for improving the educational process. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the possibility of using the proposed methods to monitor the level of students' legal culture in various universities and develop measures to improve it. The work is focused on the target group - teachers and specialists involved in the legal education of students. The research results can be used to develop teaching materials, programs for advanced training of teachers and improve the system of legal education in higher education institutions.
