Abstract: The article examines the current problem related to the development of the rule of law in Ukraine and ensuring the formation of a high level of legal culture in society. It is noted that the educational sphere is changing its key role in this process, and education managers, as its leaders, are suitable not only for effective management, but also for the formation of legal awareness in all participants in the educational process. The method of work is the disclosure of the theoretical principles of the formation of the legal culture of future education managers. Based on the analysis of scientific sources, the legal culture of a future education manager is defined as a complex, multi-component system, which is an integrative quality of the personality. It encompasses a set of legal knowledge, beliefs, values and skills that allow one to navigate in the legal field and effectively solve professional tasks. The article highlights three key components of this phenomenon: cognitive, which includes knowledge of the main branches of law; emotional-value, which reflects the attitude to law as a social value; one that manifests itself in lawful activity and readiness to protect rights. It is substantiated that the most effective strategy for the formation of legal culture is an integrative approach that combines elements of systemic, competency-based and personality-oriented approaches. The systemic approach provides a targeted impact on all components of legal culture, competency-based - focuses on a practical result (formation of legal competence), and personality-oriented - takes into account the internal motives and interests of the higher education applicant. A set of pedagogical conditions on which the effectiveness of this process depends is studied. Among them, the following are highlighted: integration of legal knowledge into professional training, which involves the study of legal aspects of management in the context of professional disciplines; creation of a legal educational environment based on the principles of democracy and academic integrity; application of active and interactive teaching methods (case studies, role-playing games, trainings); as well as the organization of targeted legal practice, which includes staging and participation in legal education projects. Thus, the article comprehensively reveals the theoretical principles of the formation of the legal culture of future education managers, which creates a solid foundation for further research. It is determined that the results obtained can be used for the development and experimental testing of specific methods and technologies based on an integrative approach.
