"These are the skills that will define the next generation of legal professionals." That's VAILL team member Kyle Turner in Bloomberg Law's brand-new Law School Innovation Program report, and the data backs him up. 89% of ABA-accredited law schools surveyed now offer AI-focused courses, with AI ethics, AI literacy, and AI for legal research leading the way. Law schools are leaning into AI. As an early adopter, Vanderbilt University Law School has been "in" since VAILL's founding in 2023. Almost half of practicing attorneys already expect new hires to be AI-literate, and we're proud to have been building toward that from the start. Our course offerings reflect the skills that new lawyers need and what firms expect of them! Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/dcVivxTQ

This is fantastic and critical for law schools to adopt. Programs that fail to properly train students are starting them behind in their careers.

AI is entering law schools — but are we teaching it the right way? Legora has just launched its Legal AI Scholars Program across top US law schools, including Stanford Law School and Cornell Law School. The goal is simple: Graduate lawyers who are AI-ready from day one But here’s the real issue AI in legal education is necessary… but it’s not sufficient. We’ve seen this before with LexisNexis. Technology was introduced early — yet many core legal skills were never fully embedded. What actually matters now: Lawyers must control AI — not depend on it Students must learn to question outputs, not trust them blindly AI errors in law = real professional liability With a $5.55B valuation, Legora isn’t just educating students — it’s building a pipeline into the future legal market. The big question: Are we creating AI-enabled lawyers… or AI-dependent ones? 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dYNn_irh #LegalAI #FutureOfLaw #LegalEducation #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation

Legal education is about to change. Today, we’re launching the Legal AI Scholars Program in collaboration with leading law schools. AI is becoming a core part of how legal work gets done. Graduates need to understand how to use it effectively, responsibly, and in real workflows. Together with faculty, we’re developing a curriculum focused on applying AI to legal tasks, understanding its strengths and limitations, and developing the judgment required to use it well. The program is already rolling out across select schools, with more to follow in key jurisdictions over the coming months. I can't wait to help shape a generation of lawyers better equipped to navigate how the profession is changing together with all of our great partners: Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law Cornell Law School Stanford Law School University of Chicago Law School University of California, Los Angeles - School of Law The University of Texas School of Law Vanderbilt University Law School Boston University School of Law University of San Francisco School of Law

Legal education isn’t waiting around, it’s already evolving. Programs like this, backed by some of the leading law schools in the country, signal where things are headed: AI is becoming part of how lawyers are trained, how they think about workflows, and how they exercise judgment in practice. At the same time, we’re seeing some of the first major AI-related disputes and regulatory questions emerge across the country. From CA, to Illinois to NY, early signals of how high the stakes are becoming around accuracy, responsibility, and use are emerging. We are in the early stages of legal guardrails shaped by legal decisions and legislation governing artificial intelligence. Taken together, it’s a clear message for those of us in practice that we need to be paying close attention to what the next generation of lawyers is being taught. They won’t be arriving with a “wait and see” mindset. They will be arriving trained in AI-enabled workflows, with different expectations around how legal work gets done. The firms that are prepared will be the ones already thinking through governance, policy, and integration now, not later.

Legora is going back to school. The legal AI company has launched the Legal AI Scholars Program, embedding its enterprise platform inside the curricula of nine US law schools, including Stanford, Cornell, Northwestern Pritzker, and UCLA. The full founding cohort: → Stanford → Cornell → Northwestern Pritzker → UCLA → University of Chicago → University of Texas → Vanderbilt → Boston University → University of San Francisco Participating universities get access to Legora's platform alongside training for students and faculty. Students are trained on drafting, legal analysis, and document review. The pitch to firms: graduates arrive practice-ready, reducing training costs from day one. The announcement lands two weeks after Legora closed a $550M Series D, tripling its valuation to $5.55 billion. The company is targeting 300+ US employees by end of 2026. Harvey already has 25+ US law schools on its platform. Legora is now playing the same long game. The next generation of lawyers will be shaped by whichever platform gets into law schools first.
