Abstract
Legal education in Ukraine faces numerous challenges in modern conditions that require defining and understanding to improve the quality of training. The article examines in detail the relevance of legal education, considering the need to reform the judicial system, harmonize national legislation with the standards of the European Union, and protect national interests in the context of armed aggression. The authors pay particular attention to the issue of the adaptation of lawyers to innovations in the field of information technology, which requires not only the study of new digital tools but also an understanding of the legal nature of the latest technologies. The authors analyze the interrelation between the training of students of higher education institutions and their further access to the legal profession and consider the possibilities of implementing foreign experience in the Ukrainian legal environment. The article identifies the primary areas of reforming domestic legal education to meet modern challenges and ensure the sustainable development of the legal system of Ukraine.
