Mississippi Law School Is Among First in Nation to Require AI Education
The school is among the first in the nation to make AI training mandatory, aiming to teach ethical use and avoid costly legal errors.
- Mississippi College School of Law became the first law school in the Southeast to require all first-year students to complete a mandatory artificial intelligence course, which concluded last month as a two-day intensive program.
- Anderson said the need for AI education crystallized at a 5th Circuit judicial conference in 2023, where he witnessed models draft legal documents in seconds. The goal is to train students to use technology "effectively, efficiently, and ethically."
- Oliver Roberts of The National Law Review taught the course, which covered ethical usage and tools like Westlaw while students created legal app prototypes addressing inefficiencies in the legal system.
- Adoption of artificial intelligence in the legal system has caused documented problems, including a case where a judge's staff drafted erroneous court orders and another where a legal professional received a $20,000 fine.
