Twilight Seminar: Professor Nick James

THE MAGIC MACHINE: Why We Should Be Cautiously Optimistic About The Impact of AI Upon Legal Education

Generative AI is rapidly transforming how future lawyers learn. In this session, Professor Nick James explores how AI is changing what law students are taught, how they develop practical skills, and how their learning is assessed.

He will unpack both the opportunities—like improved access to legal information, personalised learning, and AI‑driven skill development—and the challenges, including academic integrity risks, shifts in critical thinking, and the need to rethink assessment design.

Professor Nick James argues that AI adoption is prompting legal academics to re‑evaluate the core purpose of law school teaching. By embracing AI’s potential while addressing its limitations, legal education can better prepare students for a profession where working alongside AI will be the norm.
