Artificial Intelligence in Legal Education: The author’s development of a teacher at Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University received copyright registration

Yuriy Gavrylov — Head of the Department of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Prosecutor’s Office, Associate Professor of the Department of Constitutional, Administrative and Labor Law — received a certificate of copyright registration for the AI-simulator of legal thinking JurLab.

The certificate establishes the copyright for the simulator model, the concept of its construction, system instructions, database, user interaction algorithm, role-based learning system and the logic of forming students’ legal thinking.

JurLab is currently implemented on the ChatGPT technology platform. The simulator combines role-playing simulations, practical cases, ethical dilemmas and interactive analysis of legal situations. Students work as prosecutors, lawyers, investigators, or human rights defenders — making decisions in simulated professional situations and analyzing their consequences.

A special feature of JurLab is working with real legal sources — the practice of the European Court of Human Rights and international recommendations in the field of human rights protection.

The project has already been implemented in the educational process of the university’s law faculty. To date, more than 600 training sessions with students have been recorded.

“Modern legal education requires not only the transfer of knowledge, but also the formation of professional thinking. The idea of ​​the simulator was for the student not to just read the rule of law, but to learn to apply it through practical situations, make choices and analyze the consequences of their own decisions depending on the procedural role,” notes the author of the project, Yuriy Gavrylov.

The registration of the copyright confirmed the relevance of digital tools in modern legal education and was the next stage in the development of the project.
