A year after launching its AI and Law Collaboration program, the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University is building upon that foundation with visits to law firms to see their day-to-day uses of the quickly evolving technology.
The law school’s faculty and staff met with attorneys and firms—including Jones Day; Reed Smith; Babst, Calland, Clements and Zomnir; as well as local boutiques Perry Calder Law, JonesPassodelis and Robert Peirce & Associates—last year to have conversations about how artificial intelligence is changing the profession. More meetings are in the works.
The visit with the firms underscores the need for new lawyers and incoming lawyers to attain comfort with legal AI tools, April Barton, the law school’s dean, told Law.com.
