Статтю присвячено аналізу підходів до визначення поняття “іншомовна професійна компетенція”, запропонованих різними вітчизняними та закордонними науковцями і окреслено шляхів її формування в процесі викладання іноземної (англійської) мови майбутнім юристам в курсі мовної підготовки за професійним напрямом. Комунікативна компетентність передбачає опанування усіма видами мовної діяльності та основами культури усного і писемного мовлення, які ґрунтуються на соціокультурній базі знань. Проблема формування комунікативної компетенції майбутніх правників може бути розв’язаною через залучення студентів до процесу спеціально організованого навчання спілкування, що дасть змогу сформувати модель комунікативної компетенції юристів з мовними, мовленнєвими, соціокультурними, навчально-пізнавальними та компенсаторними компонентами, оскільки вона є надзвичайно значущою не лише в повсякденному житті, але і в професійній сфері. Оскільки діяльність юриста характеризується динамічністю, непередбаченістю, наявністю проблемних ситуацій, які вимагають миттєвого врегулювання, автори вважають за необхідне використовувати інноваційні технології навчання, а саме технології рольової гри, які сприяють більш вмотивованому, вільному та позитивно-орієнтованому іншомовному спілкуванню майбутніх спеціалістів юридичної професії.
