The article considers the main approaches to the interpretation of the terms "edu- cation" and "personal development", as well as their role in the development of professional competencies of lawyers. We have studied the peculiarities of the existing approaches to the interpretation of "education", which shows the multilevel nature of this concept, and ana- lyzed the correlation of the terms "education", "socialization" and "personal development". As a result, we have come to the following conclusions. Firstly, the most optimal possibility for impact on the moral component of training lawyers in the university educational envi- ronment is still work aimed at developing a students’ social responsibility and ensuring mo- tivational readiness for conscientious performance of professional practice. Secondly, pro- fessional education within the environment of law high school is the main factor contrib- uting to the development of the moral and legal components of the key professional compe- tencies of future lawyers. Thirdly, when creating special conditions in law university most closely approximate to the professional environment, it is possible to obtain a practical as- sessment of the development of student’s key professional competencies.
