Technological Disruption in Legal Education and Practice

Law schools and faculties are grappling with how to incorporate technology into their curriculum development, and practitioners are confronting unprecedented doctrinal

questions raised by AI and digitalisation. Technological Disruption in Legal Education and Practice is a collection of contributions by 13 authors and edited by Carika Keulder that addresses the impact of new digital technologies on the way that law is taught and practiced. Structured around two main themes, Technological Disruption in Legal Education and Practice examines, firstly, the risks to traditional law teaching and the opportunities that this technology affords for enhancing the communication of key competencies and, secondly, the impact on various areas of legal practice - labour law, the law of delict, intellectual property law and the law of evidence. Technological Disruption in Legal Education and Practice is a timely contribution to legal scholarship and jurisprudence and indispensable reading for legal academics, practitioners, and policymakers in South Africa. The book provides a grounded and contextually rich contribution that will also resonate internationally.
