The Role of Modern Workplace Skills and Competencies in the Formation of Legal Professionals

Abstract

In an era defined by rapid globalization and digital transformation, the traditional paradigm of legal education is undergoing a profound shift. This article explores the conceptual frameworks underlying the formation of modern legal professionals, emphasizing the synergy between fundamental legal knowledge and evolving workplace competencies. The research aims to justify the necessity of a competency-based approach in higher legal education, balancing "hard skills" with critical "soft skills" and "LegalTech" proficiency. Through a systematic analysis of labor market trends and pedagogical methodologies, the study identifies key determinants of professional success for law graduates. The findings propose a strategic modernization of the legal curriculum at Abu Rayxon Beruniy University to ensure graduates are not merely "interpreters of the law," but "strategic problem solvers" in a tech-driven global environment.
