Abstract

The article examines specific pedagogical, legal, and technological aspects of training future lawyers using artificial intelligence, exemplified by ChatGPT. The authors develop effective approaches for integrating AI into the practical training processes of future lawyers, aimed at fostering general and specialized competencies in alignment with national standards for legal education and the needs of legal practice, considering the functional properties of ChatGPT. The article explores official definitions of AI and its properties from the perspective of assessing its suitability for training future lawyers. The authors propose a system of criteria to guide academic staff in deciding on the use of ChatGPT for teaching specific academic disciplines. The article also emphasizes the necessity of developing concise instructions for utilizing the technology in performing specific practical tasks, which should form an integral part of syllabi for legal disciplines. To illustratively demonstrate the benefits of these instructions, the article provides practical examples of their application. Additionally, the study analyzes certain features related to the copyright of works created by artificial intelligence and offers recommendations for assessing such works within the educational process. Furthermore, the article suggests guidelines for higher education institutions to formulate internal rules for the responsible use of artificial intelligence in the practical training of future lawyers. To achieve the research objective, the authors propose a framework of general and specialized professional competencies for future lawyers, taking into account the specificities of legal education at the first and second levels of higher education. The work includes examples of practical tasks suggested by ChatGPT and provides expert evaluations of their relevance to the objectives of training future lawyers. In conclusion, the article highlights the primary conditions for the effective use of ChatGPT in the practical training of future lawyers and outlines directions for further research on the issues discussed in this study.
