Generative AI is going to transform legal research and writing. Law schools need to teach students how to use these tools. Simply banning AI in class is not a future-proof strategy.

@tiffanycli this is so terrifying.

Either LLMs are good at this task or they're bad at it, and either outcome is completely terrible.

@tiffanycli I had an interesting q from a student. Her legal writing professor had the class uses Chat GPT for spelling, grammar & editing help. She is now turning the memo into a writing sample. Should she disclose use of Chat GPT? I said yes but am curious how employers will react.

@profscheuerman Interesting! I don’t know if I would disclose unless asked—or unless she thinks it helpful. Some employers would love it, but some might not. I’m not a career advisor though!

@tiffanycli I analogized to disclosing it was a class assignment with Professor feedback & that her classmates could disclose & it could reflect poorly if she didn’t. But I have no idea how law firms are viewing chat gpt in writing samples. It’s a changing environment!
