Abstract

The article examines the problem of meeting the requirements for the teaching of lawyers and international lawyers in Ukraine with modern trends in the teaching of lawyers in the world. The authors emphasize that International Law graduates should have more skills than Law graduates. However, the approaches defined by the authorities of Ukraine do not correspond to the trends in the teaching of lawyers in the countries of Europe and the USA. Therefore, to ensure the high quality of teaching of future lawyers and international lawyers, it is necessary to take into account and integrate positive foreign experience. This article proposes specific directions for the modernization of the teaching of lawyers and international lawyers, in particular: the expansion of educational programs in order to ensure greater practical orientation and focus on modern trends in law; introduction of innovative teaching methods, such as online courses, webinars, etc.; increase of practical classes and internships for students; integration of computer literacy and programming knowledge into the educational process. The article analyzes the foreign experience of teaching lawyers and international lawyers and emphasizes the need to take this experience into account in the process of modernization of teaching in Ukraine. The main directions of modernization are described in detail, in particular: the introduction of innovative teaching methods, strengthening of the practical component of teaching, raising the level of teachers, development of research work, etc. In general, the article suggests ways to improve the quality of teaching of lawyers and international lawyers in Ukraine by taking into account positive foreign experience and using modern methods and approaches in the educational process. Keywords: teaching of lawyers, teaching of international lawyers, higher education in Ukraine, modernization of Ukrainian law schools.
