Working title: Legal Professionals Navigating E-learning and AI
Proposals: #54, #55
The increasing use of AI in the justice system requires a shift in judicial professional training, moving from the use of technological tools to addressing fundamental questions about the principles that underpin judicial work.
This leads to an evolution in the required knowledge and skills of judicial professionals, necessitating new approaches and methodologies for judicial training.
In what ways are legal professionals actually using AI? How does this differ for judges and lawyers? What knowledge and skills are required, and how can effective training be provided in such a rapidly changing environment? What are useful resources they can make use of?
