The topic’s relevance is determined by the need to study the impact of legal education on forming a person’s worldview in the context of globalisation and the digitalisation of modern society. Particular attention is paid to the integration of philosophical aspects into the process of legal education to form a comprehensive understanding of law. The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of legal education on forming a person’s worldview, emphasising historical and philosophical retrospectives. The research methodology is based on the analysis of literary sources, comparative analysis of various methods and historical analysis of the development of legal education. The study results show that legal education is vital in forming ethical and moral principles, critical thinking and social responsibility among students. A survey of students of Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University, Faculty of History, speciality 014.03 Secondary Education (History and Basics of Law) showed that most of them rate the level of teaching as high or very high. At the same time, a significant proportion of students consider the courses to be insufficiently exciting and relevant. The analysis also revealed the need to increase the number of practical classes and internships. The inclusion of courses on human rights and international law contributes to the formation of global legal awareness. The practical significance of the findings lies in developing recommendations for improving the educational process, including updating teaching materials, increasing the number of practical classes and integrating interdisciplinary approaches. This will improve the quality of training specialists working effectively in modern conditions.References
