After the success of 125 thousand, with the Judicial Reform Package, a 'transition to profession exam' was brought to lawyer candidates.

Yeditepe Law Faculty Dean Prof.Dr. According to Sultan Üzeltürk, this exam should have been done much earlier. 'This should have come much earlier. I see it positively.

"This exam is the opportunity to show your difference with legal education." According to Üzeltürk and Karagöz, the fact that the order of success has been reduced to 125 thousand will also increase the quality of legal education.
'AS HUMAN EXISTS, THE LAW WILL EXIST'
When the future of digitalization and artificial intelligence technology is being discussed, one of the questions that candidates are looking for answers is the future of legal education. Dr. According to Üzeltürk, as long as humanity exists, law will always exist. 'There is law wherever there is a human-human relationship. For example, we ask students what legal relations you have encountered while coming to faculty. You buy water to drink in the morning, make a purchase and sale contract, stand at the red light, act in accordance with the orders of the administration. When you hit someone, you are faced with a situation involving criminal law or you pay tax on the product you buy and become a taxpayer. In other words, law will always exist wherever there is a human relationship, as long as there are people. ' Underlining that digitalization creates new fields in law, Üzeltürk opened a separate bracket to IT law.
'IT LAW PROTECTS PERSONAL DATA'
Speaking, "Now there is an internet of things, all devices are connected to the internet and your personal data is everywhere", Üzeltürk underlined the need to protect the individual as technology increases. 'The whole system should be about protecting the individual. Therefore, our goal is the happiness of the individual and if there is any conflict, it is to resolve in the most fair way. ' Speaking, Üzeltürk also talked about the IT law minor program. 'We have a minor program in IT law. They are doing specific studies at the intersection of technology and law, ”and Üzeltürk also gave information about the content of the program. Üzeltürk said, 'We start the informatics law course with technology first. Our Engineering Faculty Dean, who previously served as the President of TÜBİTAK, starts the course with technical data. Students first learn about them and seek answers to the question of how they can guarantee individuals' rights and freedoms in the face of technology. Prof. dr. According to Havva Karagöz, students can add value to themselves with a minor or double major. According to Karagöz, the flexibility of universities in this regard is also very important in terms of student development.
'PRIORITY OF LEGAL STUDENTS SHOULD BE ETHICAL, NOT MONEY'
Saying that 'money should not be the priority of a student coming to the faculty of law', Karagöz also listed the features that students should have. 'The student should reflect on justice, judiciary and social problems. Law is a profession that should be done by those with high moral values. I say this in particular. Because we see some corrupt models of this both in our country and abroad. ' Karagöz also answered the questions of the candidates about distance education, which started with the coronavirus process.
'NO ONLINE EDUCATION BY CAPTURING AND SENDING VIDEO'
'Online education is not only the materials to be sent over the internet, face to face training is done online, "he speaks according to Karagoz online education in Turkey was done wrong in many universities. Reminding the "flipped learning" method that has been applied at MEF University for four years, Karagöz said, "Distance education is not about shooting and sending videos. What we do is actually do campus education online. We achieved this in our own university, "he said.
