Legal Research and Writing Program

How We Meet the AI Moment Today

Fall

Core skills first

Our 1L students build their AI sophistication over time.  Students first develop core skills: reading, thinking, and writing like a lawyer.

Winter

AI-assisted research next

After having learned the core lawyering skills, students use AI-assisted research tools in an open universe. 

Spring

LLM integration for summer-ready 1Ls

Students integrate AI tools in multiple aspects of lawyering.  After performing a task, students use and assess an AI tool doing the same to learn to skillfully deploy these tools in legal practice.
