As artificial intelligence transforms the legal sector, the American University of Nigeria (AUN) School of Law hosted a seminar on November 11, 2025, examining the profession’s evolving landscape.
Keynote speaker Barrister Benjamin C. Danpulolo urged students to embrace strategic thinking and professional development, noting that over 6,000 lawyers enter the Nigerian Bar annually. He described law as a dynamic social discipline demanding critical thinking, not just knowledge of rules.
Assistant Professor Dr B.J. Bulama emphasised law’s role in societal justice, while Dean Prof. B.M. Magaji highlighted the need for excellence in the profession. During the interactive session, students raised questions about courses such as statistics and philosophy; Associate Dean Dr Obinna Dike explained that these form part of the liberal arts approach to train well-rounded legal practitioners.
The seminar aimed to prepare students for a competitive and technologically driven legal environment.
