"About the Master Class"
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept—it’s an active driver of transformation across industries, and the legal profession is no exception. From streamlining time-consuming tasks like document review, legal research, and contract analysis to enabling predictive analytics that inform case strategies, AI is empowering legal professionals to achieve more in less time. By automating routine processes, AI enables lawyers and legal teams to dedicate their expertise to complex problem-solving, client advocacy, and innovation.
However, alongside its promises, the rise of AI also brings significant challenges for societies—and especially for lawyers. Issues surrounding ethics, accountability, and the evolving role of legal professionals raise profound questions about the future of the profession. In this masterclass, we will explore the key opportunities and challenges AI presents to the legal field.
Additionally, we’ll examine how legal education is adapting to this new revolution, both in the methods we use to teach and the evolving content of legal curricula. Join us for a thought-provoking session that delves into how AI is reshaping legal practice, transforming education, and what it means for the next generation of legal professionals.
