SPECIFICS OF THE PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH IN TRAINING FUTURE LAWYERS

Abstract

The paper analyses the specifics of professional communicative approach in the training of future lawyers, methods and approaches to the development of legal-communicative competence in law students. The main idea of the article is that legal-communicative competence is an important indicator of success of future lawyers in the professional environment. The authors note that in order to form this competence it is necessary to take into account both professional knowledge and skills, as well as communicative abilities and value orientations of students. The article emphasises the importance of an integrative model of teaching, which combines theoretical and practical aspects, and also focuses on the need to use an interdisciplinary approach in teaching, covering psychology, conflict studies, rhetoric and other disciplines. An integrated approach to the development of legal-communicative competence contributes to formation of professionalism in future lawyers. The logical conclusion of the work is to highlight conditions necessary for the successful implementation of the model of legal-communicative competence, such as legal literacy, communicative skills, the ability to negotiate and observe ethical norms and others. The results of the study contribute to supplementing and updating scientific ideas about the importance of communicative competence for lawyers and serve as a practical guide for educators seeking to improve the quality of training of future legal professionals.
