This paper examines the transformation of professional competencies required for legal practitioners in the age of artificial intelligence and digital justice systems. It argues that the traditional skill set of legal professionals is no longer sufficient to operate effectively within technologically mediated legal environments. The study analyzes the impact of AI, data-driven decision-making, and digital platforms on legal practice, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary competencies that combine legal reasoning with technological literacy, ethical awareness, and data governance understanding. Adopting a legal-analytical approach, the research proposes a structured competency framework for modern legal professionals, encompassing core domains such as digital literacy, algorithmic awareness, critical legal reasoning, and ethical responsibility. It further explores the implications of these transformations for legal education, judicial training, and professional development. The paper contributes to Legal Tech scholarship by redefining the role of legal professionals in algorithmic societies and by offering a forward-looking model that aligns professional skills with the evolving demands of digital justice systems.
