"Artificial intelligence is more than the latest new tool to land on lawyers' desks. This time feels different from earlier waves of technology. Just as the internet started as a novelty and became essential infrastructure, AI is now leading us to another platform shift. It is not a discrete product, but a new layer that shapes how nearly every legal task is, or can be, performed."
"VAILL has become both a model and a hub for what AI education can look like in law schools. Our work encompasses more than just training students to navigate specific platforms. We equip them with AI literacy, blending-tool awareness, general capabilities, critical thinking, ethical grounding, and adaptability. These are the skills that future lawyers and legal leaders need to thrive in legal environments undergoing unprecedented layers of rapid change."
"Through VAILL and our broader curriculum, we create and launch courses that directly address students' needs in AI education. Our approach includes introducing them to the types of tools they are most likely to encounter in practice, exploring how generative AI is impacting and reshaping workflows, and empowering them to engage with AI as informed professionals who can confidently interact with it."
AI constitutes a platform shift that transforms how nearly every legal task is performed rather than a discrete product. Vanderbilt Law School created the Vanderbilt Artificial Intelligence Law Lab (VAILL) to prioritize a human-centered integration of AI and legal education. VAILL functions as a model and hub for AI education in law schools and emphasizes AI literacy, blending-tool awareness, general capabilities, critical thinking, ethical grounding, and adaptability. Courses teach practical skills: evaluating tools, developing implementation strategies, addressing data security and firm policies, and understanding risks while exploring how generative AI reshapes workflows. Students are prepared to engage with AI as informed, responsible professionals.
