Abstract

Every sector, profession, and industry is affected, the future of education is disrupted, disciplines, identities, professional skills, and knowledge are blurred and re-formed. With digital technologies transforming the role of legal professionals and the use of law degrees for a variety of different careers, there is a need to reimagine how substantive areas of legal issues are taught in law degrees, alongside the wide variety of skills needed in the digitally transforming professional world where it is likely that we will have multiple careers during our lifetime. This chapter offers law schools two approaches to create a distinctive vision for legal education bringing insights together in new and relevant ways to creatively identify problems and solve problems using the law as an anchor, augmented with sciences, arts and design, technology, the social sciences, and the humanities. This chapter will make a case for interdisciplinary learning within law degrees and the flexibility that a law degree offers to benefit from this approach. In a quest to digitally transform legal education, the chapter brings law and technology into an academic context, using two proposed models for law degrees.
