Abstract


The evolution of man in generality has brought about human civilization in every sphere of life including education and research. There has been a paradigm shift from the conventional ways of teaching and research which involved oral communication through human speech to written communication/analogue collection of research materials to computer/technological based learning& research and currently the world is fast delving into artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching and research. These innovative changes in education generally has by extension rubbed off on legal education too and it is indeed a welcome development that would ensure that legal education and research are not left out of the ongoing world evolution that is embracing artificial intelligence and robotics. The aim of this article is to examine the evolution of legal teaching and research, what artificial intelligence in legal education entails, its prospects and benefits, the issues and challenges that confront the use of AI in Nigeria and the way forward.
