The author concludes that there is an acute need for an integrated approach to regulating these concepts and suggests measures to protect and strengthen them not only by improving legislation, but also by developing public awareness of the law.

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to improve the quality of legal education in the context of the digital transformation of society and the state. In today's world, the legal literacy of the population plays a crucial role in the development of civil society and strengthening of the state. Therefore, it is essential to develop an integrated legal education system that can train highly qualified professionals in the field of law. The aim of the research is to create a comprehensive model for updating legal education that takes into account the demands of the digital era. The study aims to identify effective methodological approaches for organizing the learning process in legal education. The methodological basis of the research includes an analysis of traditional and innovative instruction methods, an integrative approach to the organization of legal education, as well as a synthesis of classical pedagogical technologies with modern digital tools. Special attention is paid to the study of cognitive, axiological, and pragmatic components of legal education. The main results of the study demonstrate the effectiveness of an integrated approach to organizing legal education based on the integration of multimedia technologies, interactive forms of learning, and practice-oriented methods. The key components of the formation of legal culture and legal awareness among students are identified. The theoretical significance of this work lies in the development of a methodology for legal education that clarifies the theoretical foundations for the development of individual's legal culture in the context of widespread digitalization. The author proposes a conceptual model for integrating traditional and innovative teaching methods in legal education. The research has practical significance in developing specific recommendations to improve the educational process and introduce modern educational technologies. The results can be applied in curriculum development, methodological materials, and the practical work of educational institutions.

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.

In the context of updating the legal framework for education, it is becoming increasingly important to strengthen the requirements for protecting the rights of students and ensuring the responsibility of teaching staff. This is because the legal competence of a future teacher is an integral quality that ensures the legitimacy of their professional activities and helps to prevent legal risks for educational organizations. The need for targeted development of this competency is determined by the requirements of federal legislation, current federal state educational standards in the area of «Pedagogical education», as well as the professional standard «Teacher». Another factor that contributes to this is the increased regulation of the processing of personal data of students and their parents or legal representatives within the educational system. The aim of the article is to theoretically substantiate the concept of «legal competency of the preservice teacher» and to develop a model of mechanisms for its development at the stages of professional training at the university. The methodological basis of the research was based on competence-based, activity-based, systemic, and axiological approaches. The methods used included analysis and synthesis of scientific sources, regulatory analysis, typologization, and conceptual modeling. The main results presented are: 1) clarified substantive definition of legal competency of preservice teachers; 2) structural model of competency, including value-motivational, cognitive, operational activity-based and reflexive-evaluative components; 3) a set of interconnected mechanisms for its development (normative-regulatory, didactic, digital-environmental, project-expert, reflexive-evaluative), ensuring the transition from the acquisition of basic legal knowledge to sustainable methods of lawful professional behavior; 4) the algorithm for integrating the developed model into the main professional educational program of pedagogical education (diagnostic-target, design, activity-based, assessment-reflective stages) and the assessment construct based on criteria and indicators (legality of decisions in typical and non-typical pedagogical situations, readiness for legal expertise of local acts, compliance with the requirements for personal data, the ability to legally interact with participants in educational relations). The theoretical significance of the work lies in clarifying the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the pedagogy of law and substantiating a holistic model for the development of legal competency. The practical significance lies in the possibility of using the proposed model in designing work programs for disciplines and practices, developing funds of assessment tools and intra-university regulations for the legal security of educational activities.
