dc.abstract.enThis article is the first in a series on teaching legal reading in the Polish continental legal system. It presents research on first-year law students in Poland who participated in the first legal reading skills classes in the history of Polish legal education. The study aimed to assess the necessity of teaching legal skills in Poland and the effectiveness of the methods used. The research employed mixed methods, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative questions. Findings showed that the course was positively received by students, who valued the innovative approach and the instructors’ expertise. The data supports the idea that learning through observation, imitation and interaction within a supportive educational environment is highly effective. The study concludes that the course’s novel and innovative methods significantly enhanced student engagement. The educational environment created by the instructors was crucial to this success. The course’s continuation at SWPS University’s School of Law since 2017 demonstrates its tangible benefits. The popularity and positive outcomes highlight the need
