Abstract
Information technology is the new face of the World system from which comes the legal education system and it is well in sync with the present generation of students in this new information age. Law teachers and students are gradually catching up with this new innovation with the introduction of clinical legal education in most of the law faculties in Nigeria. Also, the incorporation of the Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS) into the Nigerian Universities System, and the mandatory implementation of the clinical legal education in Nigerian law faculties are strong indications that the law faculties in Nigeria are open to innovations and technology in their teaching methodologies. The paper explains the regulatory reforms introduced by the National Universities Commission and the Council of Legal Education which are paradigm shift from the traditional teaching methods to students’ friendly modern learning approach. The paper concludes that law teachers are also in need of training as the teachers cannot impart the skills they do not possess. The paper, therefore, recommends that the Council of Legal Education should work together with the National Universities Commission for proper implementation of the new teaching innovations in Nigeria.
