Abstract: The use of information and communications technologies at all levels of teaching, but particularly in universities, means new challenges and opportunities for the methods and processes of learning. Thus these technologies are today important instruments in teaching and research in Law. In this article, analysis is made of the evolution of university teaching of Law from traditional methods to the use of virtual environments. At the same time, we detail the changes such technologies bring to the methods of teaching and learning Law, particularly as relate to the work both of the professor and the student, the major role played by teaching materials and new models of evaluation. Finally, we look at the advantages and requisites their use involves in this environment. Nevertheless, use of such technologies will not be widespread until teaching staff are aware of their use in the teaching of Law, for which are necessary appropriate policies for their implementation, beginning with training of teaching staff in their use.
