The proposal to abolish term papers and seminar papers in law degrees – put forward on the grounds of the widespread use of AI – would amount to the self-abolition of law by undermining the training of the next generation of lawyers. New learning opportunities and examination methods must therefore meaningfully complement traditional coursework in future. Reducing the curriculum to mere exam knowledge, on the other hand, would result in students no longer acquiring important core competencies, and the legal profession would find itself completely at the mercy of AI in future.
