Due to the social distance caused by COVID-19 pandemic, remote education is now allowed by Resolution No. 342 of March 17, 2020. Exceptionally, the replacement of classroom courses in progress by classes using means and information and communication technologies (ICTs) was authorized. Based on this practice, seeks to analyze the opinion of undergraduate law students in Fortaleza about remote classes, subjects in distance education (EAD) and perspectives for the future of legal education. This study is based on bibliographic, documents and field research, with a sample of 194 students from higher education in the city of Fortaleza. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were used. It turns out that there is a majority preference, 74.7%, for the return of traditional presential classes mainly, with smaller percentage of remote classes, but lower than 30%. As a result, it is expected to contribute to the improvement of legal education in Brazil based on the analysis of this new remote classroom teaching mechanism.
