Transformation in Legal Education: Digitalization, AI, and Legal Prospects
Congress Centre, conference hall D3
Digitalization is having a major impact on how legal professionals are trained. In the current conditions, curricula and educational programmes need to be adapted to the new digital realities. This includes developing interdisciplinary programmes that combine legal education with the study of information technologies. Online courses and platforms are also being actively used to facilitate learning and interaction between students and teachers. Collaboration with technology companies and start-ups is becoming a key component in the development of innovative educational solutions. In addition, artificial intelligence plays an important role in legal education. It is used to automate routine tasks and analyse legal documents, which greatly simplifies the work of lawyers. AI can also be used as a tool for the training and advanced training of specialists. However, there are ethical and legal issues related to the use of AI in this regard. What are the main benefits of introducing digital technologies into legal education? What challenges could arise when using AI in this area?
