GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: PROSPECTS OF APPLICATION IN LEGAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The paper investigates the possibilities offered by generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies within the field of legal education. It identifies the primary domains where generative models can be applied when instructing aspiring lawyers, while also assessing both the benefits and drawbacks of incorporating such tools into academic practice. Special emphasis is placed on cultivating students’ professional abilities, honing their skills in legal reasoning, drafting procedural documents, and refining pedagogical approaches. Drawing on current international studies and experiences from law faculties, the argument is made that learners must acquire competencies for the ethical and effective utilization of generative AI. The article concludes that generative AI ought not to be regarded as a replacement for educators, but as an intelligent aid to enhance the learning ex- perience. Future research avenues include designing objective methods for evaluating the effectiveness of generative AI in law training, building specialized intelligent teaching agents for legal education, and investigating the long-term effects of these technologies on the professional growth of future legal practitioners.
