  The present study examines how the image of profession changes for law students in the different stages of their connection with the profession. It assumes that at the beginning of their studies, law students have an idealised image of their chosen study program and the profession based on it. This image changes during the years of studying, and especially after graduation, it is shifted by work experience and by the factual state of the profession. Students of the Faculty of Law, especially law students identify themselves based on the internal and external elements of a prestigious profession, which was established hundreds of years ago. Due to their early career choice, their professional socialization during the first years at the university creates the ideal image of the legal profession, which they strongly relate to. The relationship of this ideal image to reality, and how different it is from the real situation of various professional groups of the legal profession is an important question. The present study answers this question based on the results of multiple empirical researches.

  In our treatise we have undertaken to characterize the speciality of strain of law students and some elements of their image of profession. The legalists traditionally occupy a middle-class position in the modern societies. Their high state and prestige succeed also profession-order characters that frequently go hand in hand with “natality order” procurer prestige.

  From the possible components of the image of profession we examined three main topics. Firstly the motives of profession-selection, secondly the patterns of finding a job, and thirdly the main expectations on legal teaching. Generally, law students and graduates also have a strong linkage to 
  the fact that, not only the diploma, but the profession itself has a powerful charm. The patterns of finding a job show that graduates frequently occupy lower positions, than they expected.
