International Conference: The Future of Legal Education
While the unprecedented technological advances in information technologies, robotics, AI, and related fields in recent decades have had a number of positive effects in almost every area of human life, they have also brought significant concerns in how the rapidly growing development and utilization of smart technologies impinge on future law, ethics, and legal education. Some of the significant issues are, for example, machine bias in law, legal responsibility in the context of autonomous transportation, the concept of electronic personhood, Big Data, autonomous weapons, the black box problem, the impact of machine agency, and machine/robot rights. All of these issues must be properly addressed in tomorrow’s legal education. This interdisciplinary conference aims to understand how to educate students in order to equip them with necessary skills and knowledge for the future labor market and to prepare well-trained legal professionals for the future. Tomorrow’s legal education must address the problem of how to regulate the development of smart technologies and robotics in order to increase the welfare of society without violating its fundamental values such as safety, security, and privacy. The conference invites contributions addressing the main challenges at the intersection of legal education, law, ethics, and smart technologies. In order to respond to these issues, scholars from various disciplines such as law, philosophy, social sciences, information technologies, AI, and robotics are invited to submit their abstracts of no longer than 400 words of their presentations (20min & 10min discussion). Important Dates Submission of abstracts: March 31, 2021 Notification: April 15, 2021
Submission Formatting 1. Abstract of 400 words. 2. Title page (including name and affiliation)
