Integrating Generative AI in Legal Pedagogy: A Case Study

Abstract

The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is reshaping traditional legal pedagogy by introducing new dimensions to research, drafting, and personalized learning. Despite its transformative potential, the application of GAI in legal education remains promising and is accompanied by such challenges as algorithmic bias, privacy concerns, and the generation of fabricated or inaccurate content—issues that continue to divide scholarly opinion on its adoption. With this in mind, the University of Kansas School of Law offered a one-credit, one-hour course on “AI for Lawyers” during the summer of 2025. Along with reproducing the syllabus of the course and some of the professor’s observations, the paper includes an overview of AI and legal pedagogy and some recommendations going forward for integrating AI into law school curricula.
