Visit to the Khmelnytskyi District Administrative Court

On June 2, 2026, students of Leonid Yuzkov Khmelnytskyi University of Management and Law made an educational visit to the Khmelnytskyi District Administrative Court as part of the Bachelor of Law educational program. The purpose of the visit was to strengthen the practical component of students’ training, which is a key element in developing the professional competencies of future lawyers and their ability to apply theoretical knowledge in real-life law enforcement settings. Under the supervision of Kateryna Vladovska, Associate Professor of the Department, third-year Bachelor of Law students had a valuable opportunity to consolidate the knowledge they had acquired while studying the course “Administrative Procedural Law.” The central part of the visit was attendance at a court hearing presided over by Judge Vadym Matushchak. The students did not merely observe the proceedings; they had the opportunity to analyze each stage of the case hearing, from the procedural actions of the participants to the adoption of judicial decisions. This experience provided students with a practical understanding of how fundamental principles of law, particularly the rule of law and the adversarial principle, are transformed from theoretical concepts into real instruments for protecting citizens’ rights. Such direct interaction with the judicial system helps students gain a deeper understanding of professional ethics and the complexity of legal reasoning and argumentation. We express our sincere gratitude to the staff of the court, and personally to Judge Vadym Matushchak, for the high level of organization of the visit and their openness to dialogue with young people. This practical experience will serve as a solid foundation for the future professional careers of our graduates!
