The paper emphasizes the crucial role of syllabi in the educational process, particularly within the context of legal studies in Poland. Syllabi are defined as documents that contain the curriculum, requirements, and assessment criteria. In the absence of a uniform definition in regulations, their content is governed by individual universities. The authors point out that syllabi serve a communicative function between instructors and students, allowing for the highlighting of the application of fundamental research findings in teaching. In the context of legal studies, syllabi enable flexible adaptation of educational content to the needs of the labor market and current challenges, as well as the transfer of fundamental research results into teaching practices. Well-designed syllabi can positively influence student motivation and engagement in classes.
