Innovations of Legal Education: Conceptualization, Challenges, Perspectives
Abstract
According to sociological services, it has been established that educational reform is among the main priorities and the most important modifications that are necessary for Ukrainian society. The component of educational reform is the reform of legal education. It is substantiated that in order to create an effective model of legal education, it is necessary to take into account the innovative processes taking place in the world. Through the prism of legal education, innovation is analyzed as a system of transformation, as a process, and finally as a result that determines the effectiveness of legal education. Were provided examples to determine trends in society that are actualized by innovation processes and lead to changes in the economy, where the latter cause a chain reaction and lead to changes in occupations. Has been analyzed the influence of Industry 4.0 on the profession of lawyer and has been confirmed the pattern in all areas where routine actions are needed, artificial intelligence replaces lawyers and it is an irreversible process. It has been established that the development of the economy, changes in professional activity lead to the creation of gaps between science and practice on the one hand and education on the other. The classical model education of lawyers gives a breakdown through a set of reasons, the main among which are: tendencies of acceleration of the evolutionary process of society, and its results, by complexity and opportunity, change exponentially; the need for new and constantly updated skills; lack of time for the preparation of a specialist; significant financial expenses for the training of a specialist. The tendencies of institutional and meaningful changes in legal education were revealed. Active and interactive teaching methods, which collectively create innovative lawyer training techniques, were identified. The idea of creation an «interactive platform of educational program of lawyer with open architecture» as a concept of cycle for a professional lawyerʼs establishment and an effective learning technology algorithm was suggested.
