Abstract

This systematic review examines the integration of digital technologies in legal education through an analysis of 53 peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2024. Our findings identify Learning Management Systems, AI-powered research tools, and VR/AR simulations as the predominant technologies transforming legal education. While these technologies enhance accessibility and learning flexibility, significant challenges persist in faculty adaptation and ensuring digital equity. The evidence indicates positive learning outcomes, particularly in practical legal skills and research capabilities, when technologies align with pedagogical objectives. The review identifies key best practices including phased adoption approaches, pedagogical alignment, and comprehensive support systems. These insights provide valuable guidance for law schools navigating digital transformation while maintaining educational quality.
