The article describes the stages of development of technical education in Togliatti, his connection with the development of the city. The author shows the various activities of the teachers and students Togliatti Poly-technic Institute, its influence on the formation of the intellectual potential of the city.

Based on the examples of the creative destinies of several humanities scholars (A.A. Savich, A.P. Pyankov, S.Z. Katsenbogen), who lived in the late XIX – first half of the XX century, considered the impact of complex political processes, urban and university environments in Belarus, the Urals and Siberia for the scientific and pedagogical career of intellectuals, for the formation of their ability to adapt to radically changed conditions.

The relevance of the work is determined by the modern combination of trends towards innovation and preservation of the best national university traditions. In the author's opinion, the coordinates of modern “digital humanism” do not coincide in many respects with the guidelines of the educational system. The aim of the study is designated as the analysis of the influence of neuroservices on the professional attitudes of future lawyers; the object is the prospects of introducing the basics of digital humanism in jurisprudence; the subject was pedagogical models and methods implemented in law schools. The author preferred the axiological approach (as the most acceptable in pedagogy) and time-tested methods of evidence evaluation implemented in jurisprudence. The fundamental difference between the functioning of artificial intelligence and human thinking is that people operate not with information, but with impressions of it. To confirm this thesis, a stress test of ruGPT and NiceBot neural networks was conducted, which revealed that their capabilities in the legal field are rather modest, moreover, they could result in fatal errors in the legal evaluation of the obtained data. In this connection, the author suggests shifting the focus from the vulgar consumer-resource approach to meaning-oriented learning, which is understood as a centuries-proven way of intellectual development, unthinkable without basic erudition. The very formulation of the question in the spirit of digital determinism is inhuman. We need not to adapt people to the options of neural networks, but to ennoble with humanism the information society prone to mental and moral degeneration. The emphasis on research activity can not only reveal the secrets of the profession to students but also clarify what it means to live up to one's calling and to take the proper place in life. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the critical analysis of the "digital future" of jurisprudence. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the search for criteria for distinguishing between human thinking and its computer surrogate. The practical significance of the study lies in an attempt to find pedagogical techniques that can, if not resist, then at least compensate for the destructive impact of digitalization on the professional development of a lawyer.
