Criteria for Assessing the Level of Legal and Communicative Competence in Conciliation Procedures for Resolving Legal Disputes and Conflicts

Purpose of the study. In order to resolve the problem of measuring communicative competence, it is necessary to determine and analyze the set of its criteria in conciliation procedures when resolving legal disputes and conflicts. Based on the identified criteria of legal and communicative competence, designate a system of indicators for generalizing and measuring the state of the mediator’s level of readiness for practical activities in resolving legal conflicts through conciliation procedures. The study aims to establish the relationship between the motives of a lawyer’s professional activity and life values in order to analyze the value-semantic professional position of a lawyer in the alternative resolution of legal disputes. Conclusions. A detailed consideration and analysis of the professional competence of lawyers is of fundamental importance and high methodological value, since it is motivation that acts as the driving force of behavior and activity in general. Establishing criteria and indicators of a lawyer’s communicative competence in resolving legal disputes represents a single interconnected mechanism that ultimately allows one to form an idea of the mediator’s readiness to carry out professional activities.
