**Affirmed position.** Decentralized Identity Management for Metaverse-Enhanced Education: A Literature Review presents the following source proposition: Technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) are increasingly integrated into educational platforms, raising questions about privacy, security, and interoperability. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Law schools that invest early in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain will gain a comparative advantage over peer schools irrespective of ranking, because demand for lawyers trained in those technologies is likely to spike once law firm adoption crosses a threshold. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
