Design/methodology/approach: The authors analyze several gaps and shortcomings related to the growing digitalization, examine the problems arising from crisis phenomena, pandemic, and the prospects for further improvement of legal education. The aspects of the relationship between the student, higher education institution, educational management authorities and public authorities are discussed separately. Findings: The paper substantiates the algorithm to determine the basic tasks and importance of mentoring and educating prospective lawyers, taking into account current problem situations and future perspectives; a fresh approach to the role of a student of a higher education institution—prospective specialist and his or her responsibility for the process of education—is put forward. The authors of the paper express their opinion on the problem of improvement and scientific substantiation of the list of educational subjects and their structure in order to determine their place in a particular curriculum.
