ACFI 829 - LawTech, Regulation and Ethics

This module aims to: Provide students with hands-on experience of a contemporary LegalTech application or process so that they can develop a practical understanding of the opportunities and risks of using technology to deliver or enhance legal services. Help students to discover how looking at the way technology has transformed other sectors outside of law (e.g. FinTech, media, medicine) can help us to understand, predict or even design new types of legal practice and new types of ‘lawyer’. Demonstrate how established legal concepts and ways of working with legal problems are disrupted by machines with ‘artificial intelligence’. Raise students’ awareness of the commercial significance of artificial intelligence in an increasingly global, competitive and technology-driven legal services marketplace. Provide law students with sufficient knowledge and experience of artificial intelligence and machine learning to understand the capacity of those technologies to support legal services, as well as the accompanying risks which regulators are concerned with. Develop a disruptive, innovative mind-set in students that will enhance their employability within the new legal marketplace.
