Law & Tech: Embracing the New Paradigm

Published on Sep 01, 2017

Australian law schools face an imperative to engage with technologies: both in teaching and in understanding the law itself. Yet how many law academics are equipped to embrace what is surely a new paradigm? This presentation adopts Douglas Belshaw's framework of digital literacies, as a means of articulating the likely skill set necessary for teaching and researching in law. It concludes with some low-tech strategies for improving digital literacies.

This presentation was delivered at the National Association of Law School Administrators conference, Bond University, 7 September 2017.
