The leading hypothesis of the work is that intelligence as a syncretic subjective-personal quality allows one to transmit the values of the legal profession in the educational process of educational organizations of higher education, which allows one to carry out legal activities in practice in a high-quality and morally oriented manner. The study is based on a risk-oriented approach, systemic, axiological and functional analyses. Discussions.

Legal education as a phenomenon, process and result is designed to provide the public, private and public sectors with specialists in the field of law who are the pillar of law and order, create a comfortable and equal operating environment, talentedly implement law-making functions and protect the rights and legitimate interests of citizens. Digitalization and informatization, as well as trends in imposing the needs and interests of the global «consumer society», have not bypassed the legal profession, which also affects the content of legal education. Results. In such conditions, intelligence as an active phenomenon acts as an intellectual-emotional and value-semantic quality that can unite the educational process, consolidate disparate social subjects, support the transmission of good social aspirations, and also orient legal education towards creative, humanistic, intellectual and active ones. and social-constructive functions. The formation and development of intelligence within the framework of legal education allows us to form a domestic legal tradition and resist global ideological and legal expansion on the part of globalists and supporters of the «consumer society». The intelligentsia, as a purely domestic cultural phenomenon, acts as a social group and authority that is capable and ready to take responsibility for the value-semantic development of society and the preservation of traditional Russian values.
