JurLab: How Artificial Intelligence is Changing Legal Education

Half a year ago, the JurLab educational AI-bot was introduced into the education of students at the Faculty of Law of Zaporizhzhya Polytechnic University. Initially, the bot functioned as a simulator of legal situations, where students acted out role models of a prosecutor, lawyer, investigator or human rights defender, analyzed ethical dilemmas and made decisions. But in half a year, JurLab evolved into a full-fledged educational tool with its own "legal core". Thanks to the introduction of API integrations, the bot gained access to key international legal sources: - HUDOC API - the base of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights - OHCHR API - international recommendations of the UN in the field of human rights This means that JurLab has become not only a simulator, but also a dynamic knowledge base that allows students not only to respond to simulated situations, but also to rely on real legal sources. "JurLab was not created to replace the teacher, but to strengthen the student's thinking. Previously, students learned norms abstractly. Now they can immediately check their decision through the decision of the ECtHR or the recommendations of the UN — as it happens in real legal practice," notes the author of the project, Yuriy Gavrilov. The bot is already actively used in practical classes and promotes the development of critical, ethical and analytical thinking of future specialists. The project continues to develop: new scenarios, group formats of work are being prepared, and there is a possibility of inter-university cooperation. The author of the project is Yuriy Gavrylov, associate professor of the Department of Constitutional, Administrative and Labor Law, head of the department of the Zaporizhia Regional Prosecutor's Office, as well as the founder of the student legal community YGen, an expert in artificial intelligence and a certified teacher of Google AI.
