Indeed, the ability of a lawyer to productive intercultural interaction in the professional sphere, based on the possession of multicultural knowledge, skills, and abilities of communicative, sociocultural, and professional content; communication strategies of a lawyer; and professionally significant qualities of a lawyer’s personality, is understood as intercultural competence of a lawyer. This competency has four interconnected components: communicative, sociocultural, professional-profile, and personal-psychological.

All in all, this paper could be of importance in the formation of intercultural competence of law students.
