A Synthesis of Tradition and Innovation in Legal Education: Striking a Balance

The importance of preserving traditions in legal education is a pressing issue given the rapid development of technology. While innovation is actively penetrating the legal practice and educational process, the fundamental principles of jurisprudence, such as justice, equality before the law, and the protection of human rights, must remain unchanged. These fundamental values ensure the stability and predictability of the legal system, which is critical to the proper functioning of society and the state. As a result, legal education faces the challenge of striking an optimal balance: on the one hand, new technologies and teaching methods need to be integrated to train specialists so that they are capable of working in the modern legal field, while, on the other hand, the classical approaches and values that underlie law need to be preserved. How can these classical approaches to legal education be effectively complemented by innovative technologies and methods? Why do new IT solutions need to be integrated into the legal educational process and what are some possible risks of this? How is the role of the teacher changing in the learning process with the spread of digitalization and the availability of online resources? What new skills and expertise do teachers need? How can we integrate programmes to develop stress resistance and maintain emotional well-being into the educational process, given the high stress levels in the legal profession?
