AI and the Future of Law

Syracuse Law is at the forefront of providing its students with practical and ethical artificial intelligence skills to best leverage the rapidly evolving use of AI in the legal profession. Through classroom lectures, independent study, group projects, and research, Syracuse Law students will be ready to maximize the benefits of AI.

Professor Jack M. Graves led a one-week intensive JDi residency on the intersection of law and artificial intelligence. Students left with five key takeaways: 

  • Understanding AI tools
  • Recognizing ethical risks
  • Applying AI in a practice setting
  • Anticipating regulatory challenges, and
  • Developing strategies to use technology responsibly.

In the spring, Professor Mary C. Szto’s “Artificial Intelligence Law and Ethics” class will look at the history of AI, including its use in the legal profession and will examine the development of AI law and ethics in the U.S. and elsewhere, and proposals for the future.
