In this just past semester, Professor Gregory Duhl undertook to teach a required doctrinal law school course—first-year Contracts—with generative AI fully embedded throughout the course design. Instead of adding AI exercises to conventional pedagogy or creating a stand-alone AI course, this approach reimagines legal education for the AI era by integrating AI as a learning enhancer rather than a threat to be managed. The course equipped students to partner with and evaluate AI as a tool in furtherance of their learning. In this keynote, Professor Duhl will report on what worked, what didn’t, and how we might be seeing more of this in legal education.
