Sukalo pointed out the main problems which still exist among modern Faculties of Law: gender division, juridical illiteracy among students, lack of knowledge of juridical terminology, a tendency to express your thoughts by colloquial speech. The Chies Justice also paid attention to the moral make-up of judges. «This profession requires many self-restrictions, self-preparation, good vocabulary, constant self-cultivation.
