Legal Education in the Digital Age

Abstract

During the coming decades, the digital revolution that has transformed so much of our world will transform legal education as well. The digital production and distribution of course materials will powerfully affect both their content and the way they are used in the classroom and library. This collection of chapters by leading legal scholars in various fields explores three aspects of this coming transformation. The first set of chapters discusses how digital materials will be created and how they will change concepts of authorship as well as methods of production and distribution. The second set explores the impact of digital materials on law classrooms and law libraries, and the third set considers the potential transformation of the curriculum that digital materials are likely to produce. Taken together, these chapters provide a guide to momentous changes that every law teacher and scholar needs to understand.
