The rapid accessibility of information in the digital age has significantly altered how law students engage with legal research. As digital natives, Generation Z law students are accustomed to instant access to information, often relying on search engines and AI-driven tools to find quick answers. However, meaningful legal research requires critical thinking, evaluation of sources, and the ability to synthesize complex legal principles. This paper explores how legal educators can bridge the gap between convenience and depth in research by integrating effective research methodologies into legal education. It examines the challenges posed by information overload, algorithmic bias, and the decline in traditional research skills. By incorporating structured research training, promoting the use of authoritative legal databases, and promoting analytical reasoning, educators can better prepare students to navigate the evolving legal landscape. This study proposes practical strategies to cultivate research resilience, ensuring that future legal professionals can distinguish credible sources, engage with legal scholarship, and develop a nuanced understanding of the law.
