UNLV Law School Introduces AI Use Class to Prepare Students for Future Legal Practices
The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Boyd School of Law is set to introduce a new course titled 'Introduction to the Responsible Use of AI' for first-year law students starting this fall. This course aims to educate students on the appropriate use of artificial intelligence in legal practices, emphasizing its role as a tool rather than a substitute for legal analysis. Joe Regalia, an assistant professor of law at UNLV, will co-teach the course, highlighting the school's commitment to preparing students for the evolving legal landscape. The course is part of a broader initiative to integrate AI into the curriculum, with plans for a more advanced class by spring 2027. The decision comes amid growing AI usage among law students and legal professionals, with many using the technology for research and case analysis.
