Abstract
In this global era, the nature of legal practice has been transformed from the traditional ways to modern day practice that cut across jurisdictions. It then follows that the training of modern-day legal practitioner should also undergo transformation starting from the type of training we give, mode of dispensing knowledge (teaching), to the relevance of what we teach in today’s world considering technological development and globalisation. Legal education and training should therefore take into consideration not only a particular society but the ever-evolving world and its attendant development. In line with the foregoing, the art of training lawyers should apart from teaching the law, jurisprudence, ethics, culture and practice, cultivate a viable means of transmitting the requisite knowledge while taking into consideration the attendant global and societal needs. This paper looks at the training of lawyers in Nigeria, the methods, modules its merits and demerits and tries to suggest that incorporating more technology into teaching law in the law faculties and law school curriculum will produce lawyer that are better trained especially considering globalization, technological developments and societal needs.
