Abstract

In the current context, the presence of technologies and innovations becomes crucial, including in the educational field. This work proposes an analysis of the obligation and contribution of technology and innovation to the quality of legal education, considering them as essential means to an end for academic training. The central hypothesis is that these elements should be described in legal and sub-legal instruments to integrate into legal education. Thus, the general objective is to analyze how and if technology and innovation are mandatory and contribute to quality legal education. The specific objectives are: to identify, through the analysis of legislation, the purposes, guidelines, and objectives of the Law course and demonstrate whether technology and innovation are present; to analyze the sub-legal documentation of Federal University of Ceara and check if there is alignment with current legislation; and to analyze the Pedagogical Project of the Law Course at Law School of the Federal University of Ceara and uncover the experience of students and teachers at this faculty with technology and innovation in quality education. The methodology includes legislative, documentary, and bibliographical analysis, as well as a descriptive methodology for analyzing quantitative data collected from qualitative data, along with a qualitative, hypothetical deductive methodology in interviews, aiming for a dialectical research approach that encompasses all objectives. ln conclusion, there is a need for updating university and faculty documentation on the subject to align with current legislation. Moreover, dialogue and alignment between teachers and students are necessary for quality legal education, incorporating innovation and technology.
