Rapid development of information technologies has led
to the global computerization of society. As a result of this phenomenon in the
field of education, the developed data processing environment, modular assembly
of information systems (combination of different types of architectural
solutions within the same complex) were formed. Consequently, the process of
knowledge accumulation for the development of professional competence skills
gradually changes the form of implementation. Well-known goals of higher
education that are discovered in such elements as knowledge, understanding,
forms of their gaining are subject to changes. The foregoing calls for the
change in the educational paradigm one of the components of which, in our opinion,
should be the transition to educational goals of another qualitative type in
the cognitive field, including the development of applied professional legal
skills, development of critical thinking, etc. This study contains the formed
algorithm of professional training of the future lawyer which provides for the
production of a model for the formation of professional competences of the
lawyer as the basic element. Such a pedagogical model shall be based on the
organic unity of theoretical, practical, psychophysical training, which in turn
will provide the level of professional socialization. The model is based on
four segments: target, meaningful, didactic and evaluation and productive. The
study of the process of the formation of professional competences of the lawyer
using the established model has made it possible to identify shortcomings in
the content and didactic segments, which consist in overload of curricula with
unnecessary disciplines of humanitarian content and lack of applied component
in the educational process.
