The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools into legal education presents transformative opportunities and significant challenges for Nigeria's unique academic landscape. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of AI adoption patterns in Nigerian legal academia, examining current usage trends, pedagogical benefits, and critical ethical concerns. Even though AI-powered research platforms and generative writing tools are gaining traction, particularly in elite institutions, their adoption remains uneven due to infrastructural limitations and digital disparities between urban and rural law faculties. The paper further exposes Nigeria's regulatory vacuum regarding educational AI, contrasting it with emerging global standards in data privacy and algorithmic accountability. This underscores the urgent need for Nigeria to develop tailored AI governance strategies that harness innovation while preserving the rigour and cultural relevance of legal training.
