International Scientific Conference
September 24-25, 2021
Kaunas, Lithuania
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).
