This paper is devoted to the analysis of the legal activity digitalization problems. In the course of the study of the stated problems, the authors come to the conclusion that today the thesis about the complete replacement of lawyers by robots and the disappearance of the legal profession is unreasonable and premature.According to the authors of the paper, it is impossible to completely trust artificial intelligence to solve legal issues. Currently, a robot can replace a lawyer only in execution of programmable routine tasks, such as drawing up a simple template contracts, claims, search for court practice materials, analytical information, transfer documents to the court, etc. But at the same time, artificial intelligence cannot compete with the human in the issues of a comprehensive analysis of a particular problem; in giving an assessment of the fairness and honesty of the person who has applied. The field of law cannot be translated into a programming language due to the variety of terms, categories and differences in their interpretation by sectors; law has no clear boundaries and framework. High-quality professional legal activity is possible only with the participation of a professional lawyer with experience in this field. It is difficult to imagine a robot that is performing functions of a representative in court or a robot-scientist (lawyer). Artificial intelligence today can perform almost any routine mechanical work with much greater productivity, and the activities of a lawyer are aimed primarily at solving more complex intellectual problems

Digital technologies are increasingly leading to the need for their reflection in law. On the one hand, social relations are changing, which are regulated by law, which inevitably entails the appearance in the legislation of indications of new facts that are associated with the emergence, change and termination of rights and obligations, their implementation and enforcement, the introduction of previously unknown objects and subjects of legal relations. On the other hand, the law itself is becoming more and more voluminous, since it is detailed by the legislator in response to the quantitatively increasing demands of members of the society for the most complete protection of their rights in conditions that have not previously existed. As a result, the relationship between the provisions forming the rule of law is lengthened and complicated, and their application, compliance, execution and use become difficult. Therefore, there are electronic reference and legal bases, Internet resources, programs for computer technology that provide orientation opportunities in the regulatory material. Algorithms and platforms are also created that act as a means of performing actions, the order of which is enshrined in law. Gradually, the law takes on a machine-readable look, and its full digital look is possible in the future. Problems in the field of digital formalization of civil law at the moment are associated with a lack of understanding in programming law as a multi-level system used in the regulation mechanism of public relations. Promising is the direction of scientific research as the "ontology of bills" or requests for dispute resolution. Such a mechanism shall contain words and expressions that people use when formulating a situation that has forced them to apply for legal regulation. It is possible to create ontology, within the framework of which the decision made by the court is stated in an understandable form. In any case, based on the results of this mechanism, one can get only a general idea of how the legally important relationships are reflected in laws. The accuracy of legal ontology can only be guaranteed on a dogmatic basis.
