The Project Approach is an advanced form of education. It is particularly relevant to explore its potential utilization in teaching certain disciplines that necessitate applying systemic knowledge, skills, and abilities to solve practical cases. These aspects are often overlooked in the preparation of future lawyers, leading to a reduction in the professional qualities of future legal practitioners. The research aims to study the pedagogical and organizational-methodological conditions of the project approach to develop environmental legal competence among future lawyers. Based on the analysis of research results from various scholars, the authors conclude that it is necessary to employ project-based learning when shaping and enhancing the environmental legal competence of students studying “Environmental Law”: motivation, teamwork, cognitive processes, flexibility, and critical thinking. The developed prototype encompasses the educational component and the organizational aspects of forming environmental legal competence. The authors analyzed problematic aspects of using project-based learning in teaching the discipline “Environmental Law” and the formation of environmental legal competence. Additionally, the authors studied the effects of the project approach on the development of necessary skills and identified a positive trend in the number of students with formed competencies through the utilization of interactive methods and online forms of interaction. Conclusions are drawn regarding the necessity of integrating project-based learning with digital technologies and interactive methods.
