Modern challenges of higher legal education: the issues of legal support

Abstract

The article considers external and internal impacts on modern society that create unique conditions for its functioning, i.e. a combination of exponential information-technological development and the COVID-19 unstable dynamics. Assuming an objectively conditioned coexistence of modern challenges and social society with its most important institutions, the authors of the article conduct a comprehensive interdisciplinary study. This allows them to trace the mutual influence of internal socio-psychological properties and external institutional forms of society management provided by the system of legal regulation. The authors have analyzed the modernization of the most important social institution that regulates the socialization of a personality (education), the transformation of its goals, objectives, mechanisms, methods and tools. As a result, the authors have concluded that the popularization of digital technologies is objectively and naturally predetermined by new goals and objectives of this social institution in modern conditions. However, it requires a transformation of the current regulatory framework.
