The purpose of this essay is to contribute to the debate on the adoption of new technologies in legal education. It discusses Professor Daniel Bonilla Maldonado’s criticism against the legal literature’s main responses in his essay Legal Education and Technological Innovation: A Critical Essay. This paper offers two claims to substantiate the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) in legal education from a Brazilian perspective. The strong claim is that digital technologies are essential to teaching present-day law students. The weak claim is that digital technologies are useful and desirable in certain circumstances. Both claims try to respond to four weaknesses pointed out by Bonilla Maldonado, especially the naturalistic fallacy of the arguments supporting the incor- poration of technologies in legal education, and the lack of empirical evidence in favor of their effectiveness.
