Summary/Abstract: Studies in the field of legal sciences are very attractive in Serbia, therefore almost every university in Serbia offers studies in the field of law. A total of 5,830 accredited study places at the undergraduate level in the field of law is offered at 29 different study programs at thirteen of the total eighteen universities in the Republic of Serbia. This attractiveness originates from the needs of the labour market, where especially in the public sector there is a need for legal specialists. A growing number of law graduates leads to the second challenge, that is. the challenge of employment. This is the reason why this paper wants to analyse how it is possible to increase employability of law graduates in Serbia. In addition, study programs of law were analysed regarding the adequacy of training for future practical tasks. To answer these questions, in the first step the current supply of study places in the field of law in the Republic of Serbia and an analysis of the potential demand of high school graduates was presented. In the second step, an analysis of the competencies required for legal specialists was done. After this preliminary analysis, a detailed analysis of the study programs of undergraduate studies in law in the Republic of Serbia, as well as a comparison with study programs in the United States, Great Britain and Germany was carried out.
