The traditional concept of international legal aid among the judicial authorities of different states in civil and criminal matters has, in a sense, limited the capacity and possibilities to its study. In addition, the need to use information and communication technologies in education during the pandemic is not fully matched by available materials and techniques.
This study aims to identify new dimensions in the content and teaching of international legal aid. The subject under consideration may be supplemented by the issues of inter-state legal assistance in administrative matters, interaction between a particular state and the relevant international organization (or inter-state body) in the various forms of international legal assistance. This article focuses on a number of educational technologies aimed at forming the necessary competences of the students of legal master’s programs. One of them is to follow a definite algorithm when writing a comment for a judgment with the possibility to monitor and control the results of work through information platforms. Another technology is to adapt the pedagogical method of researching a media text (in this case, a feature film) in a project research seminar on a given topic. Finally, the fresh insight into the possibilities of examining the procedure for the fulfilling of requests for international legal aid by means of videoconferencing is given, since these means are in particular demand under the current circumstances.
The results of the study include proposals to change the structure of the discipline and to develop training technologies. New dimensions in the content and teaching of international legal aid are aimed at improving the results of master’s studies in the changing world and will undoubtedly contribute to the development of quality legal education.
