Technology and legal education in Nigeria: Marital bliss or blow?

Abstract: Technology has positively affected everything in the global space. It is arguably developed and applicable in the education sector which includes the legal education subsector However, one can still posit that the application of technology in legal education in Nigeria appears not well established as many law teachers who are used to paper work research seem to believe so much in it. The paper interrogates the nexus between technology and legal education. The paper found that technology is been deployed in legal education in Nigeria but the application is still very slow especially in Public Universities due to some challenges. The paper further finds that, that there are lots of prospects which technology can expose legal education if properly applied. The paper concludes that there is need for an urgent and paradigm shift to application of technology in legal education in order to prepare the law students and lawyers for global market.
