Abstract

Technology has had an outsize impact on the legal profession, transforming legal practice. We are now on the cusp of another fundamental paradigm shift as generative AI systems continue to mature. Consequently, it is crucial that law students understand legal technology, its potential and its challenges.

At Flinders University we have developed a legal technology curriculum that exposes students to legal technology, in part by learning how to code. Despite the verwhelmingly positive response by industry and the profession, challenges remain in engaging students with the benefit of learning legal technology skills.
