Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, in our 1L summer series, we’re exploring whether law students should continue to study as hard if AI can already perform many tasks for us. We’re highlighting AI’s current capabilities and limitations, underscoring the enduring importance of human skills such as judgment, emotional intelligence, and creative problem-solving.
In this episode we discuss:
- What aspects of legal work can AI currently handle, and what are its limitations?
- What legal skills will remain uniquely human even as AI advances?
- How might the legal profession transform with AI, and what new opportunities will emerge?
- What should you consider when deciding if law school is still worth it in the AI era?
- How is legal education adapting to incorporate AI tools?
