The article is devoted to the problems of professional training of Soviet judges during the new economic policy period. The legal normative base of the organization and functioning of legal courses is analyzed, the dynamics of the personnel of the courts by the level of education is traced. The training of justice staff was carried out at legal courses: the highest one-year, regional six-month, short-term (three-month). Circular orders of the Commissariat of Justice defined the content of the educational program of legal courses, the status of student and their material support. The training allowed students of legal courses to become a judge. The big need for judges and the high staff of the court turnover caused a deficit of student to fill the personnel of the courts. By 1929, only 10 percent of judges had theoretical training – graduated from legal courses.
