I am pleased to announce the publication of my new book, Educating Lawyers in the Digital Age: From Theory to Practice, by the British Institute of International and Comparative Law. I examine how to make legal education more accessible across jurisdictions by using online technologies, and how to make it more effective and relevant to legal practice.
Here are a few words about my book from Lord Neuberger, Joan Donoghue, Diana Laurillard, Justice Dhilip Nawaz, Prof GC Bajpai, and Benjamin Barrat.
“Like the future of so many other areas of human endeavour, the future of legal education is undoubtedly digital, and this book provides the roadmap for how educators can adapt to the considerable changes which this will involve, while still maintaining a strong connection to the practical skills and ethical standards which will always be needed in the legal profession. I recommend this book to anyone involved in the design, delivery, or administration of legal education.”
– The Rt. Hon. Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury, former President of the UK Supreme Court
“Dr Kryvoi’s original and insightful book demonstrates that online courses should not be seen as a convenient substitute for in-person education, but rather as a mode of pedagogy that can, with care, offer advantages not available in the traditional model.”
– Joan Donoghue, former President, International Court of Justice
“This book offers a challenging critique of legal education as well as the pathway to a more inclusive and effective future. The key is to bring legal education into the digital age. It is an impressively interdisciplinary argument, beautifully constructed and charmingly illustrated.”
– Diana Laurillard, Professor of Learning with Digital Technology, UCL; former Head of the e-Learning Strategy Unit, UK Government
“With his wealth of experience as both a scholar and practitioner, Professor Kryvoi shows how digital platforms can democratize legal learning, making it affordable and accessible to aspiring lawyers worldwide and make them better equipped to address the complex challenges of the modern legal landscape.”
Justice Dhilip Nawaz, Supreme Court of Sri Lanka
“The book ‘Educating Lawyers in the Digital Age: From Theory to Practice’ takes a unique approach by exploring the ways for applying educational theories to teaching in law.”
– Prof (Dr) G S BAJPAI, Senior Professor & Vice-Chancellor, National Law University Delhi
“What sets this book apart is its practical approach, grounded in cognitive psychology and education theory, which offers innovative solutions for delivering just-in-time, online training that is accessible, effective, and scalable across jurisdictions.”
– Benjamin Barrat, Knowledge Director, Clifford Chance
