AI & Law: The Impact on Legal Education

Zitiervorschlag: Maria Dymitruk, AI & Law: The Impact on Legal Education , in: Jusletter IT IRIS

This paper analyses the impact of rapidly growing field of Artificial Intelligence and Law (AI & Law) on the legal higher education. AI (especially machine learning, ML) has a chance to change the legal profession. With relation to the legal industry automation processes, it may be argued that the AI is currently replacing only specific tasks, not the entire profession. However, it is not certain for how long this thesis will remain valid. AI transforms the legal domain for the better. However, it does not necessarily mean that it will change for the better for every lawyer. In order to adjust the new generations of law students to the changing technological reality, it is necessary to consider modifications in legal education. The purpose of the paper is to outline these transformations and their possible consequences.
