This thesis examines the theoretical foundations of the formation and development of legal terminology in the digital learning environment. It explores the linguistic characteristics of legal terms, the mechanisms of terminological formation, and the influence of digital technologies on the acquisition and interpretation of specialized legal vocabulary. Particular attention is given to electronic dictionaries, legal databases, online educational platforms, and artificial intelligence tools. The study emphasizes the importance of contextual analysis, conceptual understanding, and reliable digital resources in legal terminology education. It concludes that integrating linguistic theory, legal knowledge, and digital literacy can contribute to the development of professional language competence among law students.
