Books, Bytes and Beyond!: Redesigning the Future of Legal Education

Abstract

AI has transformed the landscape of legal education. This interactive session is designed to allow educators to develop practical skills in curriculum design and teaching in an AI-driven world. Participants will experience first-hand how AI is brought to life in a law classroom through a unique blend of Socratic inquiry, experiential learning and interdisciplinary learning. This session features an immersive mock legal clinic experience. Participants will have the opportunity to unravel the world of AI as applied to claims management and legal practice. By the end of the session, participants will be able to (1) understand the significance of educating students about the science behind AI, (2) discover strategies to integrate technology training into clinical education and (3) gain practical tips to design engaging learning activities to foster students’ critical thinking skills. While the session is centred around legal education, its teachings can be applied across other disciplines. No prior legal knowledge is required.
