As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, law schools and firms across the country are taking steps to ensure their students and attorneys are prepared to navigate the complex ethical issues that come with this new technology. According to the 2024 AI and Legal Education Survey, 55% of law schools now offer classes on AI, and 83% offer extracurricular opportunities for students to learn how to use AI. Law firms are also getting on board, with 53% of law firm attorneys and 61% of in-house attorneys saying their businesses have had internal talks about how to better understand generative AI. However, challenges remain, including regulating the use of AI in admissions and the classroom, and ensuring that lawyers can use AI in an ethical and responsible manner. Despite these challenges, many believe that AI can be a valuable tool for lawyers, as long as it is used with caution and a deep understanding of its limitations.
