One of the most important methods of increasing the efficiency of bachelors’ professional competencies formation is the use of information and communication technologies in the educational process. This emphasizes the urgency of the problem under study. The transition of society from post-industrial state to informational one requires fundamental changes in all spheres of this society, including those in higher education at the content level. Thus, the purpose of the research is the need to develop and implement in the educational process specific pedagogical innovations, techniques and tools that take into account the society demands and the requirements that employers impose on a bachelor. In the experimental part of our research, we implemented information and communication technology tools in the educational process of future lawyers. The leading approach to the study of the problem was the competence approach, in which the stages of economic competence formation and development at the first level of higher education of lawyers were considered. The article presents the analysis of the future lawyers’ professional cycle subjects and economically oriented topics in them, by studying which the process of developing the competence, we are interested in, is going on. The development of the competence takes place throughout the learning process, which we divided into: indicative, informational, situational, practical, final correction. The main results of the article are given in the reflection of students in their relation to the study of professional disciplines before the start of training and after its completion, which shows the positive dynamics of the motivation indicators to the learning and self-education. As a result of the conducted research, we determined that the use of information and communication technologies contributes to more effective formation of students’ professional competences. The necessity of each discipline of the curriculum knowing for more complete and qualitative formation of economic competence among legal professional training bachelors is proved theoretically and practically. The article may be interesting to teachers of schools, secondary professional and vocational education institutions, graduate and post-graduate students.
