AI-Generated Content Increasing in Top Law Review Articles, Study Finds

A recent study by Professor Julian Nyarko, utilizing Pangram's AI detection software, indicates a significant increase in AI-written content within articles published in top-tier law reviews. The research analyzed 571 articles from flagship law reviews of the T14 (as measured by the 2026-27 U.S. News ranking), published between January 2025 and May 2026, with a 2020 benchmark. In 2025, only 3.3% of articles showed any AI signal, with 1.8% exceeding 5% AI-generated words. However, by 2026, this figure jumped to 15.2% of articles containing AI-written content, a 4.6-fold increase. Nine articles in 2026 had over 5% AI-generated words, and one article was found to be more than 50% AI-written. The AI signal was predominantly found in the main text and abstract/summary sections, with less presence in footnotes.
