AB  - At the present stage of the development of Russian society and modernization of the higher
education system there emerges an acute question of formation of professional competence of legal
professionals and in particular, of formation of the bases of their professional-mathematical competence as one
of the important components of professionalism of a specialist at large. Professional-mathematical preparation
of students of legal specialization develops a system-theoretical thinking of future specialists and promotes
the formation of logical, heuristic culture as an integral component of the educational-cognitive and
professional activity. Studying mathematical disciplines by future lawyers at the university expands their
arsenal of techniques for mastering legal science and fosters the culture of professional thinking. With the help
of the hierarchy method (Saaty method), the study proved the priority of forming in students (future
lawyers) of the system of interrelated professional and mathematical competence (informational-analytical,
professional-logical, expert-technological, professional-modeling, optimization and predictive competence,
special-professional competence). The study presents the levels of maturity of professional-mathematical
competence of graduate lawyers (reproductive-algorithmic level; functional-technological; system-professional;
professional-research). The study provides the data of a long-term teaching experiment which has proved that
recent graduatesspecializing in law (the graduates of the university who participated in the experiment)
successfully apply mathematical methods to solve professional tasks. It greatly increases their competitiveness
and professional mobility in the modern labour market. The research results can be applied in practice of
vocational training modernization for legal professionals.
