Анотація: This research explores the integration of digital tools to enhance soft skills among students specializing in "International Law" (Specialty 293). The author addresses the gap between traditional legal training and the demands of a digitalized global "infosphere," emphasizing the shift toward competency-based education. The research employs a qualitative and descriptive methodological approach focused on the pedagogical integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in legal education. The methodology consists of the following components: theoretical Analysis: A systematic review of current literature regarding competency-oriented training and the digitalization of the legal profession; functional categorization: Systematic classification of digital tools based on their functional impact on specific soft skills, such as communication, collaboration, and information management; case study and pedagogical modeling: Development of a practical "Syllabus Module" and a "Digital Case Study" (The General’s Dilemma) to demonstrate the applied use of digital tools in a simulated professional environment; comparative impact assessment: A SWOT-style analysis of the positive impacts ("Force Multipliers") versus the negative risks ("Digital Pitfalls") of technology on student development; strategic synthesis: Formulating evidence-based recommendations for curriculum architecture and assessment rubrics to ensure a "human-AI balance" in legal training. The article analyzes various functional categories of digital means– including interactive simulations, specialized legal databases like HUDOC and Westlaw, and AI-powered assistants– evaluating their impact on communication, critical thinking, and collaborative drafting. Furthermore, the study provides a practical framework through a "Crime and Punishment" syllabus module, outlining specific digital integration phases and assessment criteria. The findings conclude that while digital tools act as "force multipliers" for professional efficiency, a balanced "human-in-the-loop" approach is essential to maintain ethical judgment and emotional intelligence in international legal practice. Research Novelty includes the following directions: interdisciplinary framework: the study establishes a unique conceptual link between the development of "soft skills" (communication, emotional intelligence) and specific legal-tech competencies, moving beyond general ICT use to specialized international law applications; taxonomy of Digital Tools for Law: the research provides a novel categorization of digital tools (Interactive Simulations, Specialized Databases like HUDOC/Curia, and AI Assistants) based specifically on their functional impact on international legal practice; methodological Integration: unlike traditional models, this work proposes a "Digital Tool Integration Map" specifically for Specialty 293, aligning specific pedagogical phases (Preparation, Research, Drafting, Interaction) with dedicated software solutions; dual-Impact Analysis: The research introduces a critical assessment of the "Force Multipliers" vs. "Digital Pitfalls," providing a balanced perspective on how AI can both enhance stylistic precision and potentially lead to the "atrophy of deep concentration" in legal analysis; application of AI in ESP: The article explores the novel use of AI "co-pilots" (like Spellbook and CoCounsel) not just for translation, but as tools for developing syntactic complexity and professional "Legal English" within a criminal law context.
