The future of the Legal education and profession: Applications of artificial intelligence in law

One of the most recurrent discussions in legal-philosophical debates has been the legal science theory, which in fact have not ever come to a single final conclusion considering that there is not ever a single correct theory in law. A new dimension may now be added to these debates, given that the discipline of law has, through legal technology applications, approached to natural sciences as it has never ever. Accordingly, the alternative future designed for legal education and practice of law, as we have tried to describe throughout our paper, contemplates that the adoption of an experiential education in legal education may pave the way for change of role of attorney in legal professions. Another issue deemed worthy of debate in this context is whether the legal language may be expressed in the form of an algorithm or not. According to the opinion defended in this paper, although the language of law, differently from computer language, is far beyond the expressibility as ones and zeroes, i.e. rights and wrongs, it is also important to overview this language from a different point of view, getting out of the traditional patterns.
