Entrepreneur Georgia has published a partner article on the use of a blockchain simulator in law teaching at Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani University, under the headline პირველად საქართველოში – სამართლის სწავლება ბლოკჩეინ სიმულატორის გამოყენებით (First in Georgia: teaching law using a blockchain simulator).
The article reports that master’s students in law now work with a blockchain simulator as part of the AI Policy and LegalTech course, authored by Shalva Jokharidze. The tool is an open-source, MIT-licensed teaching program adapted for the course and hosted on Document.ge infrastructure, and it is described as the first use of its kind in Georgian legal education.
What students work with
As reported, the simulator lets students see the structure of a chain rather than read a description of it: how records are added and verified, how the data is secured, how a public and private key pair functions, and the logic on which a smart contract runs.
Ani Zandukheli, a master’s student on the course, told the outlet that the skills it teaches are contemporary and necessary, and that a modern lawyer has to be able to work in a technological environment as a matter of course rather than as an exception.
The article closes on the university’s intention to extend the law programme across all three levels – bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral – with further technological modules and practical platforms.
