The article discusses the issue of the formation of the legal competence of student youth. It is based on the study of the level of legal culture of students of the Tver State Technical University (hereinafter – TvSTU), which is phenomenological in nature. It is shown that the respondents are inclined to the priority of law and law, and the most important human rights are freedom of conscience, freedom of speech and freedom from humiliating and offensive treatment. A subjective analysis of the relevant research data allows us to give a preliminary conclusion about the predominance in the minds of students of TvSTU of ways to solve legal problems with the help of special (power) law enforcement agencies, as well as about the poor awareness of students. The formation of legal competence is a multi-stage process in the course of which students must consolidate not only legal knowledge, but also acquire practical skills in solving legal cases and life situations.
