Objective of the study was to survey legal literacy and need for legal education in a physical education university student community.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the questionnaire survey the 1-3-year students (n=124, including 1-, 2- and 3-year groups of 42, 44 and 38 people, respectively) majoring in physical education at Yekaterinburg Institute of Physical Culture.
Results and conclusion. The efforts to develop legal literacy in young communities are recommended to prioritize the legal education models geared to gradually build up the group legal cultures with a special emphasis not only on the formal laws but also on the most sensitive and relevant legal issues, rights, values and priorities. One of key benefits of legal education service in the academic educational system is the graduates’ awareness of the legal mechanisms offered by the legal system and their preparedness and willingness to effectively defend their own and other people’s rights in constructive cooperation with every group.

Keywords: legal education, rule-of-law state, civil society, legal literacy.
