“…Clinical legal education is a teaching method constructed through skills-based interactive education carried out both inside and outside the classroom and, as such, cannot be separated from the law curriculum. 21 The clinical legal education stimulates a professional environment of lawyer-client relationship among law students by mixing the theoretical aspects of law with its practical application. 22 Clinical legal education introduced interactive teaching into the law curriculum.…”

The Council of Legal Education, which is the regulatory body for the legal profession in Nigeria, has made it clear over the years that the training of lawyers cannot be adequately carried out through correspondence or distance learning, which can be interpreted as online learning or remote learning. As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, various online teaching and learning methods were adopted by educational institutions all over the world, to ensure the continuity of the learning process, truncated by the pandemic. This study, carried out through a multidisciplinary approach, is an assessment of the perception of students on the level of effectiveness of COVID-19-imposed online teaching and learning, especially, in comparison with the traditional classroom setting among legal education students in Nigeria. From the study, it was observed that students perceived the online learning method to be more effective than the traditional face-to-face method of delivery but were less focused during the online classes as compared to physical classes. Furthermore, many of the students opined that online classes should be discontinued after the lockdown. Despite students’ distractions during online learning, there is a need to recognize that online learning is a panacea for the crisis at hand (the COVID-19 pandemic), and for as long as it lasts, there may not be a complete return to the physical classroom setting. The study suggests ways of minimizing the challenges that students who do not find online learning effective face with its use, while also calling on the Council of Legal Education to revisit its stance towards the adoption of online learning as a suitable teaching method to be incorporated into legal education.

The launch of ChatGPT in November 2023 will perhaps be come to be one of the defining moments in our relationship with technology. The rapid pace in which generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is developing and the rate in which it is being adopted, is transforming how we interact with technology, and poses new risks and challenges. As GAI tools such as ChatGPT are used by non-lawyers, this article explores the implications of generative AI in the provision of legal advice. This research examines the performance of GAI tools in providing legal information and advice in response to commonly experienced legal problems and finds there are significant errors and mistakes with the responses it produces. There is a critical need to improve access to justice and this article explores the implications for non-lawyers in using GAI tools and considers the risks of reliance on GAI advice. The article goes on to examine the utility of generative AI in clinical legal education to consider whether there is a role for responsible use of GAI in law clinics. It suggests the adoption of GAI tools has the potential to increase the capacity of law clinics, and enhance employability skills, but law schools need to be cognisant of the risks of GAI.

With the continuous and in-depth implementation of our country's legislation to govern the country, citizens' awareness of popularizing and using the law must also be continuously enhanced. As high-quality talents, college students are also the backbone of socialist construction. The establishment of students' correct legal concept is not only related to the construction of our socialist society under the rule of law, but also closely related to the future and destiny of the Chinese nation. The purpose of this article is to study the legal education in colleges and universities. First, it outlines the knowledge background of legal education and the internal logic of college legal education and social stability. Secondly, a number of related questionnaires that can be selectively answered are carefully designed. The main problem focused on the basic status, and analyzed the status of legal education on this basis. The experimental results show that only 6% of students think that their families value and often provide legal training. Discuss the course of reform and innovation, and put forward practical countermeasures to strengthen law education in colleges under the new situation.
