Current issues in education as pertaining to the realm of e-commerce legal protection

The authors analyze some major problems of developing competent human resources, first of all legal experts, in the electronic commerce (e-commerce) legal protection sphere. To date, the educative process has been evolving mainly around technically- or economically-oriented academic programmes; however, in actual practice there is a strong demand for an integrative approach to education that implies the acquisition of comprehensive knowledge including legal knowledge among others. Starting out from such courses already having been taught by NRNU MEPhI for years as “Technical aspects of information security”, “Legal regulation of e-document flow and making use of digital signatures” as well as several others, the authors suggest that such kind of a comprehensive approach be applied to the specialist training in the sphere of e-commerce legal protection.
