Abstract

This paper examines legal education (LE) in several countries, including China, Russia, Australia and Thailand and draws lessons for Vietnam, particularly within vocational education institutions. The study shows that these countries consider LE a crucial task, implemented continuously from general education to higher education, with diverse content, methods and strong links to practice. In Vietnam, although LE in vocational institutions has achieved certain results, it still faces limitations in curricula, teaching methods and lecturer capacity. To improve effectiveness, the paper suggests renewing curricula and teaching methods, strengthening lecturer training, connecting theory with practice, diversifying forms of education and fostering students’ self-awareness. International experiences, combined with domestic solutions, can enhance LE quality, shape legal consciousness and promote lawful behavior, thereby contributing to social development and international integration.
