Methodology: The research methodology was focused on the use of general scientific methods and special methods of scientific and legal discourse. The analysis was the key rationalist research method, and online surveys occupied an empirical niche in the methodology of the given scientific research. The scientific novelty of the study is focused on determining the level of support for the use of the principles of legal culture in the educational process (both for legal professionals and non-legal professionals). Results: The results of the study indicated the dominance of the views of students of different levels and different specialties, which point to the need to include legal norms in educational and legal training or education.

General legal competence in the modern educational and legal sense implies not only adherence to practice-oriented legal principles but also extrapolation of moral and legal guidelines to the worldview of the world.

Digital literacy development must be regarded equally essential as the development of other literacies and critical thinking skills in Bachelor of Laws students. Because law teachers do not include visuals in learning materials, law students do not develop the skills to effectively interpret them. Digital visual literacy (DVL) is one of the core digital literacies law teachers can advance in their students to prepare them for our visually-driven world. Legal historical course material is the perfect vessel for visual learning materials in law, as these can effectively communicate the spacio-temporal aspects of legal history and legal historical development. A recent empirical study of the views of South African students of legal history indicated their positive sentiments toward a wide variety of visual learning materials and the inclusion of instructor-generated summary infographics in online learning materials. They were also in favour of the inclusion of descriptive visuals like timeline infographics containing additional visual elements in legal historical course content. The study also indicated that reading and interpreting infographics aid the development of DVL skills, and the more infographics students interact with, the better they become at interpreting them. Since the instructor-generated summary infographic can be designed to communicate information about a specific module, it is suited to teaching any legal content. Visual learning artefacts can be created and sourced in numerous ways, but the process can be time-consuming. Sharing these amongst colleagues and institutions as open educational resources (OER) will ultimately aid a collective project aimed at the development of the DVL skills of South African law students. The article provides examples of instructor-generated summary infographics based on legal historical course content, distributed as freely available OER.
