Abstract
The methodology, objectives, and teaching methods of legal studies differ from the standard respective notions of sciences and social sciences in university curricula and research, and have often led legal studies to be considered as an isolate, albeit extremely important, field. Recent decades have seen a continuous discussion about the challenges posed to legal studies by technological innovation, new research methods, and multi-disciplinarity. The recent pandemic has abruptly led legal studies to a new era, which had been discussed for a long time: online teaching, increased usage of podcasts and online material as teaching methods, a globalized environment. The aim of this chapter is to examine how the pandemic has affected and could further influence the new landscape of legal education. The case-study for the effect the pandemic had is Cyprus, a small country with both state and private law schools, which purport to teach not only domestic Cypriot law, but also Greek continental law, and English common law. The chapter then considers aspects of legal education in a post-Covid world.
