Course Details

AI and Legal Reasoning

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and its applications in law practice and courts. We will focus on developing a deep functional understanding of AI tools and how they are applied to legal-reasoning and law-practice tasks in law firms, legal departments, legal aid organizations, and courts. The aim is to develop students' understanding of AI and their ability to deconstruct law, legal reasoning, and legal practice to engineer legal processes, applications, and systems that improve access to the law and legal services for everyone, from legal aid and the consumer market to corporations and governments facing increasingly complex multinational challenges. No prior programming or AI knowledge or expertise is required.
