Abstract
To prepare law students for a tougher, rapidly changing legal world, European law schools need to reinvent themselves. This article argues that European legal educators should focus on equipping students with a broader skillset enabling them to become successful advocacy experts, effective legal risk analysts and creative legal problem-solvers. As part of a new, thoroughly interdisciplinary curriculum, legal education should concentrate on the acquisition of rhetorical skills and social-scientific tools allowing students to apprehend legal rules as the product of social dynamics as well as instrument of social planning. To preserve their commitment to free, mass legal education, European law schools should also embrace full-scale digitalisation to free up time and scarce teaching resources for more interactive and more experiential forms of learning.
