Legal professionals increasingly rely on digital technologies when they provide legal services. The most advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) promise great advancements of legal services, but lawyers are traditionally not educated in the field of digital technology and thus cannot fully unlock the potential of such technologies in their practice. In this paper, we identify five distinct skills and knowledge gaps that prevent lawyers from implementing AI and digital technology in the provision of legal services and suggest concrete models for education and training in this area. Our findings and recommendations are based on a series of semi-structured interviews, design and delivery of an experimental course in ‘Law and Computer Science’, and an analysis of the empirical data in view of wider debates in the literature concerning legal education and 21st century skills.

法律专业人士在提供法律服务时越来越依赖数字技术。人工智能（AI）等最先进的技术有望在法律服务方面取得长足进步，但是传统上律师并未受过数字技术领域的教育，因此无法在他们的实践中充分挖掘此类技术的潜力。在本文中，我们确定了五种截然不同的技能和知识差距，它们阻碍了律师在提供法律服务时实施人工智能和数字技术，并为该领域的教育和培训提出了具体的模型。我们的发现和建议基于一系列半结构化访谈，“法律与计算机科学”实验课程的设计和交付，
