The Constitutional Court of Ukraine is the body of constitutional jurisdiction, which ensures the supremacy of the Constitution of Ukraine, decides on the compliance of the laws of Ukraine with the Constitution of Ukraine and in cases of other acts stipulated by the Constitution of Ukraine, carries out an official interpretation of the Constitution of Ukraine, as well as other powers in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine. Started activities under the new Constitution on October 18, 1996.
The excursion was attended by second-year students and third-year students. This choice was made primarily because they are now studying constitutional law as an educational discipline, and visiting the Constitutional Court for them is an incredibly useful experience.
Under the close supervision of the new head of the student legal and consulting center "Central Legal Clinic" Stankovych Mikhail Ivanovich and the chairman of the Student Council of the Educational Institute of Law Ikonnikov Sergey, students were introduced to the history of the Court, visiting the museum; the library itself, whose users are directly the judge of the Constitutional Court and other employees of the apparatus, have been seen by their own eyes; received access to an archive in which more than 15,000 cases of constitutional petitions and appeals from 1996 were stored; felt the atmosphere of the session hall of the Senate and the Grand Chamber of the Constitutional Court.
After the excursion, representatives of the Main Office of Justice in Kyiv made a photo of the students and told about their project "I have the right to vote" within the national initiative of the Ministry of Justice "I have a right", which aims to increase legal education among the population of our homeland.
