I am a full-time student of the Faculty of Law, Vladimir Branch of the Russian Academy of the National Economy and Public Administration Under the President of the RF. I hope to get a Bachelor`s degree in Law. I major in Civil Law and my future profession is a lawyer. When I graduate from the Academy I will continue my professional training to become a judge. I have decided to keep my family` s tradition and become a lawyer. My father is a Federal Judge and mymother is a notary. So I have decided to follow my relatives` advice and become a lawyer, too.
In 2019 I applied to the Academy after finishing a secondary school. Some young peoplecome here after graduating from a Law college or serving in the army. Today, a school leaver has to take several computer-based Uniform State Exams. They are both final exams at school and entrance examinations to a university, academy or institute. I took examinations in Russian, Social Studies and History. I must say they were rather competitive and I had to work hard to pass them well in order to be enrolled.
