THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES ON THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE LAWYERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

In the era of dynamic development of digital governance and digital innovation, the legal industry faces a number of significant challenges and prospects. The proliferation of digital technologies such as 3D modelling, virtual reality and artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming approaches to the training of future lawyers, as the existing skills and training system for legal professionals are insufficient to effectively use these new digital tools.

The purpose of the article is to study and analyse the impact of modern digital technologies on the process of education and training of future legal professionals, in particular, to determine the effectiveness of digital technologies in legal education.

The authors examine various aspects of the impact of digital technologies on the development of legal education, such as the effectiveness of digital tools in the educational process, the development of digital literacy among students, changes in teaching methods due to the introduction of digital technologies, and preparation of students for work in the modern information society. The article determines the effectiveness of the use of digital tools in curricula, assesses their impact on the development of key skills and competences of future lawyers, and develops recommendations for the optimal use of digital technologies to improve the quality of education in this field.

We consider experimental studies of future lawyers' readiness for the effective use of digital technologies in their professional activities to be prospects for further research.
