Stanford Bootcamp: Building AI Agents in Law
Saturday, Apr. 11 (9:00am- 5:00pm) – Sunday, Apr. 12, 2026 (9:00am-9:00pm)
Register by March 3, 2026.
Limited to Stanford students (Law, CS/Engineering, GSB). Space is limited.
In this hands-on accelerated class, interdisciplinary teams design and prototype agentic AI applications at the intersection of technology and law. In small teams of Law, CS/Engineering, and Business students, you’ll receive structured instruction and expert coaching to produce: 1) a functional prototype, and 2) a pitch narrative, both tuned for the Stanford Law x LLM Hackathon (Day 2) to compete versus other teams.
- How do you turn the latest GenAI models into reliable, enterprise-grade agents?
- Which legal-tech problems are “startup-sized” now—and how do you pick the right wedge?
- How do you design around model limits (accuracy, privacy, IP, compliance) to ship safely?
You’ll tackle these questions with guidance from lecturers and invited GenAI experts (past guests from OpenAI, Google, Apple, and Meta). Working in small teams, you’ll develop a GenAI startup concept, then refine and pitch it at the open Stanford Law x LLM Hackathon (Day 2) to a panel of AI entrepreneurs and academics. No prior AI experience required. No academic credit is offered.
