Abstract

The in-depth application of artificial intelligence is triggering a paradigm restructuring of legal clinic education. This paper reveals three major structural contradictions formed in the process of technology embedding legal education: the structural mismatch between teachers’ capabilities and digital demands, the practical paradox caused by institutional identity barriers, and the persistent conflict between public welfare attributes and the funding ecosystem. The research proposes a “technology-institution-resource” integrated reform path: first, establish a collaborative system of “double-qualified tutors + AI intelligent systems” to realize the organic integration of experience inheritance and intelligent assistance; second, promote the amendment of the Civil Procedure Law to confirm students’ limited agency rights, and incorporate practical indicators into the professional evaluation system through a policy coordination mechanism; third, apply blockchain technology to optimize government procurement processes, so as to achieve precise resource allocation and sustainable operation of public welfare legal services. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of the transformation of legal clinic education from “experience-oriented” to “digital-intelligent symbiosis”, providing a theoretical framework and practical paradigm for cultivating legal talents with both technological adaptability and humanistic heritage.
