Unfortunately, it is impossible to list all teachers working in the field of additional education over the past ten years. But it is extremely important to note the contribution of individual employees and teams of the departments of the Law School to the establishment and development of the Center.

The Center for Additional Education of the Law School of the Siberian Federal University (hereinafter the Center) was established by order of the Rector of the Siberian Federal University dated July 28, 2008, No. 993 to carry out retraining, advanced training for directors and specialists in order to improve their professional knowledge and business skills, prepare for the implementation of new labor functions.

A great contribution to the development of programs for state and municipal servants was made by the following departments: civil law (N. F. Kachur, I. S. Bogdanova, S. Ya. Sorokina, E. N. Petrova, Yu. Ts. Masharova, N. Yu. Rychkov); constitutional, municipal and administrative law (O.Ronzhina, L.A. Mitskevich, A.F. Vasilyeva); criminal procedure and criminalistics (A.N. Nazarov, L.V.

Nikitina), Head of the Department of International Law (T.Yu. Sidorova) and others.
