Abstract

This text is a contribution to the discussion on the state of legal education in Poland. The author refers, in particular, to the article by A. Czarnota, M. Paździora and M. Stambulski regarding a hidden program in legal education, describes the existing situation and proposes changes that should be introduced in legal studies and teaching methods for future lawyers. On selected examples, she shows how one can oppose the domination of dataism in university teaching at law faculties in
Poland and at the same time educate competent lawyers and conscious citizens.

Abstract

Current legal studies curricula in Poland are still “analogue”, academic teachers themselves are still largely “analogue”, and students and articling students live in a different world: they are “digital natives”, in other words, “homo zappiens”, meaning “constantly clicking”. On the other hand, curricula and programmes are saturated almost exclusively with legal doctrines, but the market needs law graduates in economy, also with the knowledge of market, business and enterprise opinion principles, including special soft skills, completely different from those required for centuries in courts. The author presents arguments for the necessary reform of legal studies in connection with the above phenomena.
