Beschreibung / Abstract

How can legal education adapt to technological change, growing multilingualism, and the demand for inclusivity? This volume gathers innovative perspectives from leading international scholars and practitioners at the intersection of legal linguistics and legal education. It explores themes such as • the impact of artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) on legal training, • the need to integrate sign language, plain communication, and multicultural perspectives to make legal education more accessible and relevant to all learners, • curriculum strategies that foster precision, creativity, and critical reflection in students’ engagement with legal language, • the potential of literary and narrative methods for pedagogy by illuminating the human, ethical, and affective dimensions of law. The contributions present an interdisciplinary, forward-looking account of current and future directions in teaching law and language. Thus, this volume is key resource for academics, policymakers, practitioners and students alike.
