“…Competence in legal education should be correlated with ethics (Vlajković & Dabetić, 2023) because, without the moral factor, a set of normative and regulatory norms loses its mission in the worldview sense, which deprives legal education of existential meanings.…”

Place and Duration of Study: The research focused on the educational and legal environment in general in terms of strategy and prospects for the development of legal education and awareness. Methodology: The research methodology was focused on the use of general scientific methods and special methods of scientific and legal discourse. The analysis was the key rationalist research method, and online surveys occupied an empirical niche in the methodology of the given scientific research. The scientific novelty of the study is focused on determining the level of support for the use of the principles of legal culture in the educational process (both for legal professionals and non-legal professionals). Results: The results of the study indicated the dominance of the views of students of different levels and different specialties, which point to the need to include legal norms in educational and legal training or education. Among the surveyed representatives of the educational community, more than 90% of respondents had a positive attitude towards the process of establishing legal culture in the educational environment. Conclusion: Thus, legal education is an integral component of the formation of legal culture in both the individual and social dimensions. General legal competence in the modern educational and legal sense implies not only adherence to practice-oriented legal principles but also extrapolation of moral and legal guidelines to the worldview of the world.

This introduction provides an overview of the contents of the edited volume Modernising European Legal Education (MELE)—Innovative strategies to address urgent cross-cutting challenges. The volume contains sections on Law and Education Innovation, Law and Gender, Law and the Climate Crisis, Law and Datafication, as well as Law and COVID-19. The purpose of this volume is to share the insights of this Strategic Partnership for Higher Education funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+programme and make them available to a broad public. The volume starts with the summary of an empirical survey at 14 different European law faculties at universities in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, Lithuania, North Macedonia, and Spain on the status of teaching transversal competences in legal studies. Throughout the sections and individual chapters, this edited volume responds to specific aspects highlighted through the survey. Beyond that it engages with relevant topics identified in the research and educational practice of the consortium members. The rapid and profound transitions shaping societies at the beginning of the twenty-first century also come with a substantive influence on the legal profession. Reconsideration of the legal discipline is therefore needed to identify the skills and knowledge that future lawyers must be equipped with to successfully engage with this changed reality.
