Artificial intelligence tools have been around for some time, but the emergence of ChatGPT was a game changer. In legal education, AI holds immense potential to revolutionize our administration, pedagogy, programming, and research. The rise of intelligent machines offers us the opportunity to explore new teaching methods, such as personalized learning experiences, data-driven assessments, and adaptive curricula. By leveraging AI, we can equip our students with the skills necessary to thrive in a technology-driven legal profession.

With summer break in full swing, law schools can reflect on the past year's experiments with the release of bots like ChatGPT to chart a path for the coming academic year and beyond. While the initial concerns, skepticism and frustration with generative AI in the immediate aftermath of ChatGPT are understandable, it is only by focusing on the convergence of legal technology and legal education that we can best prepare students consistent with our core goals, values and principles. In short, this is the time to engage in strategic thinking and planning so that our students can learn to navigate this evolving landscape now and make important contributions to their fields once they graduate.
