Abstract
The purpose of the article is to study the conditions and specific features of the situation in which legal education enters the age of digitization. The authors use the theoretical and empirical materials and methods, including the results of a survey among undergraduates regarding the quality of legal education.
The results of the performed research allow for the conclusion that digitization as a global tendency and strategic line of development of the Russian society influences all spheres of public life, including the sphere of education. Provision of the conditions of growth of the Russian economy sets before the system of education the task of training of competent personnel. Digitization of education does not have a total character and has to be involved into the educational process.

It is expedient to achieve the optimum in integration of the existing approaches to education, as well as methods of training in their traditional and innovative variants. Organization and contents of training should be built in view of opinions of the consumers of educational services (students).
