Enhancing Legal Writing Skills through Interactive E-Books: A Multilingual Approach

The study investigated the use of smart interactive books to enhance legal writing skills among non-native law students. Legal writing skills are crucial for future legal professionals, yet they often pose challenges, particularly for non-native speakers. To address this, a quasi-experimental design was employed, focusing on non-native Arabic students to assess the effectiveness of smart interactive books in fostering writing skills development. The results of the study are compelling. The experimental group, consisting of 21 participants, demonstrated a significant improvement in legal writing skills compared to the control group, which comprised 24 participants. The t-values, ranging from 4.58 to 7.27, underscore the statistical significance of these differences. This success can be attributed to the interactive activities, immediate feedback, and progress monitoring provided by smart interactive books. These findings hold promise, not only for non-native law students but also for curriculum designers. They suggest that incorporating smart interactive books into legal education can significantly enhance legal writing skills. This research opens new avenues for law students aiming to improve their legal writing skills.
