A collection of essays by 13 authors from the University of the Witwatersrand that addresses the impact of new digital technologies on the way that law is taught and practiced. The authors examine the risks to traditional law teaching, the opportunities that this technology affords for enhancing the communication of key competencies, and the impact on various areas of legal practice.

Contributors include Clement Marumoagae, Constantine Theophilopoulos, Marthinus van Staden, Stuart Woolman and Emile Zitzke.

“... an ambitious, coherent, and well-researched volume [that avoids] the fragmentation of many edited collections by maintaining a clear thematic thread. Pedagogy and doctrine are ... woven together throughout the work, illustrating how the way we teach law shapes how future lawyers engage with substantive legal challenges, while the adaptation of law, in turn, informs curricular and strategic priorities.” Professor Juanitta Calitz; Department of Mercantile Law, University of Johannesburg

“... a timely, relevant, and intellectually rich [work] that addresses critical issues in legal education and practice.” Professor Theunis Roux, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
