One response to “Law school policies on use of generative AI by students?”

  1. This is a topic that is addressed at some length in my co-authored draft with Jon Choi and Amy Monahan, Lawyering in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4626276). In short, our view is that use of generative AI should be banned in the first-year of law school, and this ban should be implemented not just through an honor code (which is likely to be ineffective over time because it is practically impossible to detect cheating) but through requirements that assessments be completed in person using a lock-down browser. Once students advance past their first year of law school (at which point they should have achieved basic proficiency in legal analysis), our approach changes and we encourage law schools to develop classes that specifically teach students how to use GenAI effectively.
