Broadcast
Given the rapid changes in the world of technology and the legal environment, the future of legal education needs to be reimagined and adapted to new challenges and opportunities. Globalization, digitalization, and the development of artificial intelligence are creating new requirements for the training of lawyers, who not only need to be legal specialists, but also have such skills as analytical thinking, an interdisciplinary approach, and the ability to work with modern technologies. One the key issues facing law schools is how to integrate practical skills and innovative technologies into the educational process in order to provide graduates with the knowledge and expertise they need. It is also important to think about how legal education can prepare students for work in an international environment, taking into account the diversity of legal systems and cultures. Law schools, business, and government agencies need to actively work together now more than ever to create an effective educational environment. What are some of the main trends in legal education against the backdrop of digitalization? What new training approaches can be introduced to prepare lawyers for the challenges of the modern world? How can we ensure that educational programmes meet market demands and employers’ expectations?
