"The program will combine foundational instruction, hands-on training with AI-powered legal tools, and an assessment to ensure demonstrated competency, while students will also learn about ethical and regulatory aspects of AI, according to the school."
"The first session will provide an introduction to AI and LLMs; session two will cover best practices for using AI models; session three will address how AI can be ethically used in research, drafting and client service; and the fourth and final session will give an overview of federal and state AI regulations, according to Roberts."
""MC Law is looking to take the lead in preparing the twenty-first-century lawyer for the effective and ethical use of AI to better serve their clients and communities," Dean John Anderson said. "The goal is to maximize the benefits of these transformational technologies for our state and nation while minimizing the risks.""
High-profile AI screwups are occurring frequently, demonstrating that experienced attorneys need more training to spot caselaw hallucinations. Law schools are preparing students for legal practice involving generative AI by introducing mandatory AI competency programs. Mississippi College School of Law will require an Introduction to AI and the Law certification for first-year students, joining Case Western Reserve University School of Law. The certification was developed with Wickard.ai and founder/CEO Oliver Roberts. The program combines foundational instruction, hands-on training with AI-powered legal tools, ethics and regulatory education, and an assessment leading to an AI legal practice certification. Sessions cover LLM basics, best practices, ethical use in research and drafting, and federal and state AI regulations.
