Project-Based Approach in Training Business Lawyers for Digital Economy Through the Prism of Goal Setting

Abstract

The goal of the study is to determine the fundamental intention of the educational project implementation in the Masters’ program for training business lawyers for the digital economy. The main methods used are the analysis method and the sociological method. The main result of the study is that the main goal of educational projects for training business lawyers is the development of a set of regulatory competences. The conclusions are that the competence-based approach is an objective trend in modern education, largely supported by students. A number of factors have been identified that impede the formation of basic lawyers’ competences for students in the digital economy, based on the sociological study. Due to the lack of reference to “digital” competences in federal state educational standards, it is advisable to introduce additional competences in the local acts of the educational organization that take into account the need for lawyers to use information and telecommunication technologies.
