DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF LEGAL EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS IN DEVELOPING JURISDICTIONS

Abstract

The digital transformation of legal education represents both a challenge and an opportunity for developing jurisdictions. While digital tools and online platforms promise to democratize access to legal knowledge, they also expose structural inequalities such as poor infrastructure, limited digital literacy, and socio-economic barriers. This article explores the challenges posed by technological integration in legal education within developing jurisdictions, and it highlights the prospects for innovation, inclusivity, and global integration of legal systems. It argues that although digital transformation may initially deepen the gap between privileged and marginalized groups, it also holds the potential to create more accessible, flexible, and future-oriented legal education if strategically implemented.
