The Association of American Law Schools and West Academic, a company under bar exam prep group Barbri, signed a multiyear partnership focused on supporting artificial intelligence in legal education that will offer a webinar series, online resources and research on faculty and student attitudes toward the emerging technology.
The webinars designed for faculty, deans and administrators will feature AI experts from law schools and the profession, covering topics that include integrating the technology into curriculum, AI risks and limitations and ethics, regulation and policy, according to a Jan. 7 press release.
Online resources will offer examples of how law schools are responding to AI, including pedagogical shifts, ethical considerations and best practices in institutional policies and planning, according to the press release.
The research will explore attitudes across faculty, students, administrators and practitioners to understand how AI is reshaping teaching, learning and practice readiness, and it will explore faculty confidence and student trust in AI tools, according to the press release.
“By joining forces on content expertise, audience reach and a shared commitment to thought leadership in legal education, together, we are providing the legal academy with a trusted and established source for guidance on AI,” said Kellye Y. Testy, the Association of American Law Schools’ CEO and executive director and a 2022 ABA Journal Legal Rebel, in the press release.
