- Abstract
There have been various paradigm shifts in the higher education sector due to massification. Legal education is undergoing a steady shift away from the traditional professional self-regulation, towards regulation by market forces. The rise of technology and globalisation has remoulded the market force, and disrupted traditional modes of delivery. In preparation of this gradual technological shift that external market forces are gravitating towards, legal academics have discussed the possibility of integrating various technologies and educational applications into their teaching pedagogy. However, an overuse and constant introduction of new technologies may not be the most sustainable action plan for the advancement and continuous growth of the legal education system. This research aims to demonstrate the adverse effects of perpetual introduction to, and the overemphasis of technology in legal education. This will be done by examining the efficacy of the types of potential new technologies and applications, including Metaverse, that may be introduced in law schools. Additionally, the paper attempts to suggest a sustainable and useful legal teaching action plan for the introduction and integration of new technologies in law schools. This research will be valuable to law academics, law students, educational institutions and educational technology providers.
