Abstract
The article examines the main trends in education, including legal education. The authors studied the Federal Law “On Education”, educational standards, and a number of industry laws; identified the positive and negative sides of digitalization of education, and also separately studied the impact of distance learning in the conditions of coronavirus restrictions as a side of digitalization. It is concluded that the transition to a new paradigm of education corresponds to the constitutional values of Russia. The competency-based approach creates prerequisites for the creative development of a person based on his/her activity and involvement in the learning process. Digitalization in education makes it possible to optimize and improve a number of educational procedures; however, as the authors showed in the study, it also has negative sides in legal education. The distance learning mode as part of digitalization also received a mixed assessment. The authors concluded that universities should carefully comprehend the experience of digitalization and distance learning in the conditions of coronavirus restrictions in order to eliminate problems and improve the educational process.
