In order to comprehensively consider and then justify the need for the formation and development of professional and educational standards for training future professionals in the field of law, it is necessary to take into account many circumstances, the most important of which are: the positivist vector of the development of domestic jurisprudence; reforms of Higher Legal Education; reduction in hours in the study of historical and theoretical legal subjects, as well as humanitarian subjects in general. In the conditions of a technocratic state, the role of law in public life is increasing, which requires the recognition of the special importance of humanitarian subjects in the training of a professional lawyer, which needs the ability to sympathize, participate, be human, and respect human rights. Mass-producing of legal education results not only in the legal formalism of the legal bureaucratization of law enforcement agencies, caused by the loss of trust by the heads of state bodies to the moral and other qualities of the personnel who are forced to do everything according to the instructions, but also in the delegitimizing of rights, laws and by-law acts, jurisprudence as a whole, which gradually turns into an instrument of a technocratic state.
