The AALS and West Academic sponsored a great CLE on AI tools for law faculty on April 15. Here’s the description of the program and a link to the video.
How can artificial intelligence streamline course preparation, enrich classroom engagement, and support student learning? This webinar brought together experienced legal educators who shared practical strategies for using AI to support law teaching. They described how AI can assist with day-to-day teaching tasks such as generating hypos, refining rubrics, organizing course materials and presentations, and designing formative assessments, as well as how to evaluate AI outputs with a critical, professional lens.
The session also highlighted a range of tools that can help faculty work more efficiently and creatively. Presenters discussed the strengths and limitations of different platforms, demonstrated sample workflows, and offered guidance on maintaining academic integrity and transparency when using AI. They provided actionable ideas, recommended tools, and a clearer sense of how AI can support law teaching and class preparation.
