A magyar joghallgatók motivációi, céljai, életstratégiái egy empirikus vizsgálat alapján

Absztrakt

This study presents the research which is aimed at gathering comprehensive knowledge of the Hungarian law student community. The underlying objective lies in revealing law students’ legal knowledge, attitudes and motivations as well as their preferences regarding the values set forth in the Fundamental Law of Hungary. Another objective of this research encompasses obtaining information on the efficiency and effectiveness of legal training in Hungary, which potentially results in providing useful knowledge for both law faculties and the legislator. The research is in part based on the comparative legal sociological survey which was carried out among law students in the Law Faculty of Szeged University, at the time known as Attila József University, Hungary in December 1996 and that of Göttingen University, Germany in the summer of 1997. This previous research involved an in-depth analysis of the law students’ attitudes, motivations and vocation. This study presents the findings of the questionnaire-based quantitative research which showcases the circumstances under which law students entered the legal field and what they have envisaged in connection with it.
