Brad Wendel asks “Should Law Schools Teach Responsible Use of AI?”He answers the question in the first paragraph.
Wendel does not stop with the shortest-ever Substack essay. He offers three reasons: 1) “AI” is not monolithic, varying by practice area, firm, and even groups within firms; schools cannot train students on a single “AI” that will meet that diversity of demand; 2) the technology is changing too quickly; 3) students need to learn legal analysis and analytical skill, which we are good at teaching; focus on that rather than the thing at which we are less good.
Brad ties this into the longstanding demand for “practice-ready” lawyers. That requires similar levels of detail, specificity, and diversity that we cannot impart in a classroom or in a broad curriculum within a short window.
