In the article there are discussed the problems of formation of some professional qualities of the teacher in the legal educational space of modern Russia. The authors thinks that among the most important professional qualities of the teacher there is the professional knowledge, which includes knowledge of the subject area and pedagogical knowledge; level of communicative culture; commitment to professional growth; and the ability to reflect. Despite the fact that the professional qualities of the teacher largely determine the effectiveness of the educational system, the question of formation of these qualities is actually outside the framework of the legal education space. Based on the analysis of the provisions of the Russian legislation, the author comes to the following conclusions. The state, represented by the legislative power, confined itself to declarative rules in this matter, leaving to the executive authorities of the Federal or the Federal entity level to solve this problem. These organs, in turn, has delegated the corresponding authority to the competence assessment commissions, not providing them with specific criteria and algorithms for assessment of the amount of knowledge of the teacher in the subject, psychological and educational spheres, as well as not providing specific forms of participation in the certification of the public associations and pedagogical educational institutions. Thus, the question of the minimum amount of knowledge in the subject area and relevant psychological and pedagogical knowledge has been left to the teacher to decide upon.
