Wondering about AI policies for a specific law school? This site has AI policies at 128 law schools available to check out.
As discussed by Bob Ambrogi on his excellent LawSites blog (New Site From Suffolk Law Dean Andrew Perlman Catalogs AI Policies at 128 Law Schools, available here), The site, AI in Legal Education: Law School Policy Archive, catalogs public AI policies, teaching strategies, and curricular programs from 128 of the 196 U.S. law schools, organized into eight topic areas and derived from the schools’ own published documents.
For each school, the archive links to the underlying source, including student handbooks, honor codes, dean’s memoranda, strategy statements and program pages. Each source is also labeled by its status: in effect, interim, pilot, proposed, guidance, or completed/limited.
The full dataset is downloadable as a spreadsheet, and Perlman invites readers to submit policies, corrections and omissions.
As Bob notes: “Perlman, long one of legal education’s most prominent voices on innovation and technology, is transparent about the site’s scope and limitations – and about how he built it.”
The “how” he built it is that ChatGPT Sites was used extensively to research and construct the archive, with ChatGPT locating many of the public sources, organizing them into topic categories, and helping draft the summaries.
Perlman, the site says, has not manually reviewed or independently confirmed every reference or summary, and readers should consult the linked original sources.
As Bob observes: “It is, in other words, an AI-assembled archive documenting how law schools regulate AI.”
Having written about one law school (University of Chicago, which prohibited the use of electronic devices for 1L students) just a couple of weeks ago, I decided to look that school up. Sure enough, it referenced the “2026–27 pilot [which] pairs device-free classrooms across all core 1L sections”.
Bob downloaded the data and asked AI to help him analyze it: an AI analysis of an AI-assembled archive documenting how law schools regulate AI. 🤣
As he stated: “Since Perlman used ChatGPT to create the site, I enlisted its competitor Claude to evaluate it.” I won’t steal all his thunder – you can check out his write-up here – except I will share his observation that “Mandatory AI instruction is spreading”: “Notably, even as law schools are restricting AI use, they are mandating its training. Twenty-six schools have mandatory AI curriculum or literacy requirements, and the list is growing semester by semester.”
That’s encouraging!
A site with AI policies at 128 law schools built by AI is bound to have a few mistakes; hopefully, the schools themselves will ensure their own information is complete and accurate. And hopefully the remaining schools will publish their policies if they haven’t already.
So, what do you think? Would you trust a site that was built by AI? 😉 Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
