The Ministry of Justice of Russia plans to establish a new departmental award. The other day, the department submitted for public discussion a new procedure for awarding, as well as an updated list of awards, including the medal “For Excellence in Studies”.

As it became known to MK, the new award will be awarded to graduates of universities, the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation and its subordinate federal services, as well as higher educational institutions with which the Ministry of Justice of Russia has concluded cooperation agreements.

The criteria for selecting candidates for the medal will be quite strict. Firstly, the student should receive only “excellent” at the end of the semesters throughout the entire period of study. Secondly, he must become the winner or prize-winner of an international, all-Russian, regional or departmental Olympiad, competition or other scientific or educational competition. The latter will be equivalent to receiving a grant for scientific activities or a document confirming the exclusive right of the candidate to the product of his intellectual work (patent or certificate). In addition, publications in scientific journals, presentations at scientific conferences, as well as volunteer activities will be taken into account.

In the center of the front of the medal is an emblem representing the image of the “pillar of the Law” superimposed on two crossed torches (they symbolize the fire of knowledge). Along the circumference is a wreath of laurel branches. The medal is connected to a pentagonal block covered with dark green silk ribbon. In accordance with the current rules, the design of the award was agreed with the Chairman of the Heraldic Council under the President of the Russian Federation.
