Call for Papers – Symposium on Legal Education in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence
School of Law and Social Science, Royal Holloway, University of London
Date: 30 April 2025
Location: Royal Holloway, University of London
About the Symposium
The Symposium aims to explore the transformative impact of AI-powered tools on legal education. As legal academia and practice increasingly integrate AI-driven models such as ChatGPT, DeepSeek, NotebookLM, Gemini, Co-Pilot, and Claude, it is crucial to critically examine their implications for pedagogy, legal reasoning, and professional training. This interdisciplinary symposium will bring together scholars, researchers, educators, legal practitioners, and students from law, computer science, data science, and related disciplines. The event will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, collaborative discussions, and scholarly networking to advance research on AI’s role in shaping the future of legal education.
