The relevance of the research problem is due to the profound transformation of the legal profession under the influence of modern digital technologies, when traditional ethical regulators of a lawyer's professional activity lose their unconditional normative force, giving way to new, not yet fully understood forms of the legal profession. The rapid introduction of algorithmic systems into law enforcement practice and legal education poses unprecedented challenges for professional deontology, requiring a philosophical and legal understanding of the very possibility of preserving the "human-centered" dimension of legal activity in the context of increasing algorithmization. The aim of this study is to identify the essential characteristics of the transformation of the ethical imperatives of legal practice in the digital era and to conceptualize the risks of dehumanization of the legal profession that this transformation entails. The leading approaches to the research problem are an interdisciplinary approach, which allows for the integration of the achievements of legal science, ethics, and the philosophy of technology, as well as a hermeneutical approach, which focuses on interpreting the meaning transformations of basic deontological categories and phenomena in the new digital space. The main results of the research are the justification of the thesis that the digital transformation of law creates a fundamentally new configuration of a lawyer's professional activity, where traditional imperatives of impartiality, independence, and loyalty to professional duty are complemented by the requirement to preserve the human dimension of justice and to responsibly confront the algorithmic reduction of legal reality. The study identifies key risks of dehumanization of the legal profession, including the loss of the empathic component of the lawyer's profession, the substitution of professional judgment with algorithmic decision-making, and the erosion of the lawyers’ personal responsibility for the results of their professional activity. The theoretical significance of the research lies in its contribution to the development of the conceptual foundations of lawyer's professional ethics in the context of the digital transformation of law and the state. The practical significance lies in the possibility of using the findings in the development of educational programs for training lawyers and ethical codes for the legal community that take into account the new challenges of the digital era.

In an era of rapid social and state development and modernization of the legal system, the issue of quality in modern legal education has become increasingly important. Thus, legal education and the development of professional skills of future specialists play a fundamental role in the formation of a civil society. Therefore, the relevance of this study is determined by the need to adapt the legal education system to the modern requirements of society and the labor market, as well as by the need to train highly qualified legal professionals. The aim of this study is to develop an innovative legal education model that goes beyond simply transferring theoretical knowledge and instead fosters a comprehensive understanding of the law, analytical abilities, and professional competence among students. This model is based on a holistic approach that combines dialectical thinking, system analysis, and practical orientation. It is based on a synthesis of generally accepted scientific methods and specialized research tools, including processes of cognition that move from the particular to the general and vice versa, as well as the creation of educational models. Integration of various scientific fields plays a significant role, allowing us to combine the achievements of pedagogical science, psychological theory, law, and modern information technology into a unified educational system. The conducted research has allowed us to form a comprehensive model for legal education development based on a harmonious combination of traditional and modern practices. During the course of the work, we identified key directions for reshaping the educational process, with a focus on enhancing its practicality, incorporating digital technologies, and fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration. The scientific significance of the research lies in enriching the methodological foundation of legal education and developing innovative approaches to educational organization. The results have significant practical potential, which could be realized through improvements to the legal education system, enhancing the effectiveness of professional training, and promoting legal culture development in society. The practical significance of this work lies in the potential for implementing the developed recommendations in law school curricula, thereby improving the quality of legal training and ensuring the competitiveness of graduates in the job market. The potential for future research lies in testing the proposed model in an educational setting, monitoring its effectiveness, and making adjustments based on the findings.
