Acting Dean of the Faculty of Law of NovSU, the head of the Novgorod regional branch of the Association of Russian Lawyers Sergey Fabrichny welcomed the participants and opened the dictation in the main building of the university. He noted that dictations of this kind - geological, historical, and legal, etc. - are a good way to test ones knowledge. In addition, S. Fabrichniy drew attention to the fact that the event has important practical value: “The results of the dictation show which issues are more understandable for the citizens of our country, which of them cause difficulties or increased interest. Public authorities get a specific feedback based on the results of the dictation.” The Minister of State Administration of the Novgorod Region, Ilya Bortsevich, added that everyone needs basic knowledge in jurisprudence.
