Reimagining Legal Education: Navigating the Promise and Perils of Artificial Intelligence

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into legal education is rapidly transforming the skills required of future legal professionals. This article explores the pedagogical, ethical and institutional implications of AI in legal education, drawing on theoretical frameworks and practical examples. The study argues for the inclusion of a core ‘law and technology’ unit to ensure graduates are equipped with both the technical proficiency and ethical sensitivity required in an AI-driven legal landscape. It concludes that a forward-thinking, interdisciplinary approach supported by infrastructure, faculty training and policy alignment is essential for preparing law students to navigate and shape the future of legal practice responsibly.
