APPLICATION OF BUSINESS GAME METHOD AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE LAWYERS

The article examines the relevance of using business games in the formation of professional competencies of law students. It is pointed out that since the court is essentially a competition between the parties, the method of business role-playing is very convenient for an effective system of training future lawyers. An improved form of business game is proposed, in which an inanimate system, artificial intelligence, is used as one or more participants in the game action. The method of conducting such a game is considered both from the perspective of the main players of the court session (judge, secretary, plaintiff, defendant, prosecutor, lawyer, experts, etc.) and from the perspective of the roles of the participants-organizers, including those of moderator, fixer, analyst, active listener, decorator and timekeeper. Special attention is paid to the specifics of using intelligent systems in a business game, and an example of a scenario for such a game is given. The positive role of artificial intelligence, acting as one or more game roles, is formulated: in particular, it is indicated that it becomes a worthy role model for law students in arguing their own position, a visual template of a dynamic type in the consistent development of argumentation skills, in the correct formation of reasoning algorithms, for effective analysis of case materials. AI also introduces a problematic nature into judicial situations, which forces student players to find unusual, non-trivial solutions and activates their thinking.
