Integrating AI into Legal Education in Anglophone Sub-Saharan Africa: Sketching a Path Forward for Law Faculties
In this week’s post, Professor Effoduh and Awotula highlight how law faculties across English-speaking sub-Saharan African states have been slow to reform their curricula in response to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies. The duo observes that while AI reshapes everything from finance to justice, most legal education remains outdated, failing to equip students for this shifting terrain. They call for urgent, context-aware reforms grounded in African philosophies, including the introduction of compulsory Law and Technology courses. They also note that without proactive change, African jurisdictions risk being shaped by opaque foreign technologies that ignore local realities, values, and rights—deepening digital inequality and reinforcing techno-colonialism.
