The article defines the category of “knowledge of the law”, reveals their components ‒ the level, scope and content of legal information. The relation between the concepts of “information” and “knowledge” has been established. Necessary and sufficient legal knowledge for the future teacher of history and jurisprudence have been identified, which includes: a system of historical, legal and psychological-pedagogical knowledge necessary and sufficient for professional activity, their breadth, volume, depth; mastering the process of acquiring this knowledge with subsequent use of it in educational and legal activities; focus on studying the law, legal literature, solving legal situations and considering social and legal problems, seeking information on changes in the social and legal life of society and the state, studying historical and legal disciplines, the legal status of a person, free operation of elementary legal concepts, awareness of the need for legal knowledge, knowledge of human and child rights in future professional activity and their proper application in defending their views, positions. The levels of legal knowledge sufficiency are set: high, medium, low, according to the characteristics: breadth of legal knowledge, their volume, depth. The high level includes students whose breadth, volume, depth of legal knowledge make it possible to always find the right legal criterion for personal action, on the one hand, and on the other, require legitimate behaviour and correct judgment from others. For intermediate-level students, interest in legal knowledge is limited to the “required” curriculum. Students with low levels of interest in law are unstable, with many gaps in legal knowledge. In general, the level of knowledge is insufficient to understand legal relations. Students do not have the necessary skills and abilities to conduct law enforcement work with students.
