The relevance of the article is related to the content of the main structural elements of legal culture as a systemic activity of the state, society and citizens, aimed at promoting and disseminating information for the formation of new knowledge, culture and worldview. The need that has arisen in this regard to develop and implement an effective model of legal education of the population at the federal, regional and local levels will be aimed at improving legal policy in the field of developing the legal culture of citizens. As a consequence of this, authorities at all levels will be called upon to provide comprehensive work to disseminate legal knowledge that will contribute to the formation of the rule of 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.

The relevance of the study is determined by a profound value-normative crisis in youth legal consciousness, manifested in the spread of legal nihilism, vulnerability to manipulative influences, and weakly developed citizenship. At the same time, the digital transformation of the educational environment and the "visual turn" in culture necessitate adapting pedagogical methods to the cognitive preferences of the "digital generation," which predominantly processes information through multimodal formats. Traditional dogmatic approaches to legal education, focused on rote memorization of norms, fail to engage the emotional-value sphere of personality and prove insufficient for developing holistic legal culture as an integrative quality encompassing cognitive, affective, and behavioral components. The aim of the article is the theoretical substantiation and methodological design of an artistic case model as an innovative pedagogical support for fostering legal culture among students. The leading approaches employed are systemic (considering legal culture as an integrated whole), interdisciplinary (synthesizing jurisprudence, pedagogy, art history, and cultural studies within the "Law and Art" paradigm), and competency-based (interpreting legal culture as a transdisciplinary competence). For the first time in Russian pedagogical science, the concept of "artistic case" has been operationalized as a didactic construct that integrates literary text, visual art, and media content into a unified semantic structure focused on a moral-legal dilemma. A three-level structural-functional model has been developed, comprising a core (dialogue of arts based on semantic resonance), a contextual-methodological shell (historical-cultural commentary and a system of problem-based tasks), and a toolkit of pedagogical cues. A universal five-stage analytical algorithm has been proposed–from emotional perception to conscious legal positioning–sequentially developing all components of legal culture. The typology of pedagogical cues for decoding multimodal content has been substantially expanded. Theoretical significance lies in creating a holistic conceptual framework for integrating art into legal education, thereby bridging the gap between humanities and jurisprudence. Practical value is determined by the model's readiness for immediate implementation in the educational process without additional resources, with its reliance on available cultural artifacts, and its adaptability across diverse educational contexts, including legal education within foreign language instruction.

The article examines the problem of legal nihilism as a systemic challenge for the Russian legal system. Based on a comprehensive analysis, the nature, historical roots and key features of legal nihilism are revealed, its typology and interrelation with other deformations of legal consciousness are presented. Based on empirical data (VTSIOM surveys in 2023–2024), the scale of the phenomenon has been demonstrated. The necessity of a systematic approach to overcoming legal nihilism, including legislative, educational and technological measures, is substantiated. Criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of strategies and the projected effects over a five-year period are defined.
