Smart Technology means legal education has to become smarter too

Technology is impacting how law is taught, as well as how it is practised. LawFuel NZ spoke with Terri Mottershead, Director of the College of Law’s Centre for Legal Innovation, about technology and its impact on legal education.

Lawyers need to embrace, lead and manage change; be resilient; collaborate; work with different people in different ways – embrace diversity and the new and emerging specialisms in law in things like data analytics, cryptocurrencies, cybersecurity; adapt and be flexible; demonstrate an ongoing personal curiosity and commitment to continuous improvement.

These are the capabilities that legal education needs to focus on.” – Terri Mottershead
