%X Law schools globally are modifying precedent by changing the way they deliver legal education. The latest pedagogical offerings include ¡®hackathons¡¯ and digital work-integrated learning programs. Instead of readings, lectures and specified unit outcomes, students are presented with authentic, open-ended challenges. Gamified hackathons engage students, lecturers, lawyers, IT professionals, designers and the broader community. Group ¡®hackers¡¯ form collaborative, transdisciplinary networks to craft holistic solutions to current legal problems. This Brief addresses whether ¡®pracademic¡¯ pedagogy focused on applying theory to real problems will help equip law graduates with the skillset necessary for the future of legal practice
