The Starting Is The Hardest Part: Using Chatgpt To Overcome Writer’S Block, Margie Alsbrook
The Starting Is The Hardest Part: Using Chatgpt To Overcome Writer’S Block, Margie Alsbrook
Incorporating ChatGPT in the Legal Research & Writing Classroom
We all know that editing a draft, even a bad draft, is easier than starting from scratch with a blank page. Even if ChatGPT produces something you hate, the draft produced by the software can “unstick” us and our students and jump start a surge of productive work. With editing this eventually leads us to good work product, and that work product will likely be better because we started earlier and went through a more thoughtful process. The presentation would also include ways in which ChatGPT can help LRW professors with some of the parts of the job that we …

Move Over Wright & Miller--Is Chatgpt The Only Secondary Source You Will Ever Need? Spoiler Alert...It's Not!, Jacob Waldo, Susan O. Winters
Incorporating ChatGPT in the Legal Research & Writing Classroom
AI tools like ChatGPT are increasingly widespread, and despite an uncertain future due to a rapidly evolving technology landscape, they are likely here to stay. Many of the digital tools used by law students and lawyers will soon be incorporating sophisticated AI technology into their platforms. Students already use ChatGPT to brainstorm, proofread their papers (or write them entirely), summarize information, and more. Failing to integrate ChatGPT into the legal research curriculum not only risks diminishing our professional authenticity with students but could also lead to the devaluation of traditional legal research skills in favor of convenient, albeit less reliable …

Scheherazade, Chatgpt, And Me: Storytelling And Ai, Tracy L. M. Norton
Incorporating ChatGPT in the Legal Research & Writing Classroom
Humans developed language to tell stories. Gesturing, demonstration, and vocalization worked for communicating instructions or basic information. But establishing and maintaining community required story, and story required language. Our desire to tell better stories and share them more widely has led to the creation of art forms from simple guitar ballads to epic motion pictures and intricate first-person video games. So it’s no wonder that, in the era of generative artificial intelligence, storytellers would be among the first to put AI to work. Storytellers have been using AI for years already to develop stories, which means that AI has itself …
The Case For Iterative Legal Writing Practice With Chatgpt, Joseph Regalia
The Case For Iterative Legal Writing Practice With Chatgpt, Joseph Regalia
Incorporating ChatGPT in the Legal Research & Writing Classroom
In this session, Professor Joe Regalia will share his work developing legal-writing education tools that leverage GPT technology. He will also share best practices for creating assessments, exercises, and activities for your own students that are tailored to how and what you teach in the classroom.
Much of this presentation will focus on case studies and live, hands-on examples (given this is virtual) so that we can spend most of the time learning by doing together.

Incorporating ChatGPT in the Legal Research & Writing Classroom
The legal research course is over a century old. As a law school subject, it predates many doctrinal courses, as well as the advent of clinical legal education. It is several decades older than its sister subject, legal writing. In spite of its age and obvious importance, the place of the legal research course in the law school curriculum remains contested. While some law faculties recognize the value of legal research instruction and require a standalone legal research course in the first year, the vast majority combine it with legal writing (often over the objections of legal writing instructors and …

Chatgpt In A Contract Drafting Class, Ben Fernandez, Kristen Hardy
Incorporating ChatGPT in the Legal Research & Writing Classroom
Our presentation will discuss the impact of ChatGPT on contract drafting pedagogy. Specifically, we will examine ChatGPT’s basis of knowledge and whether it has sufficient theoretical foundation to be used as a pedagogical tool; whether ChatGPT’s practical application supports proven methods of instructional delivery; and ChatGPT’s functionality as an assessment tool.
1. ChatGPT’s basis of knowledge and whether it has sufficient theoretical foundation to be used as a pedagogical tool
Our presentation will compare the pretraining of ChatGPT and to the typical Contract Drafting pedagogy. We will start by showing the program on a screen and asking it how it …

What Did I Miss? A Demonstration Of The Differences Between Chatgpt-4 And 3.5 That Impact Legal Research And Writing, Laura Killinger, Leslie A. Street
Incorporating ChatGPT in the Legal Research & Writing Classroom
Many news sources are raving about how much more advanced ChatGPT-4 is than 3.5. You may have heard that ChatGPT-4 outscored 90% of test takers on the Uniform Bar Exam, while ChatGPT 3.5 only outscored 10% of test takers. But what does this mean for teaching legal research and writing? In this presentation, we will compare specific examples of ChatGPT 3.5 (the free version many of us tried in the spring) and ChatGPT-4 (the paid version released in March).

Incorporating ChatGPT in the Legal Research & Writing Classroom
ChatGPT and its family of generative tools may seem new, but the process that ChatGPT imitates is as old as Egyptian papyri: The end-user still had to adapt the form text to each person’s unique situation.
Similarly, modern attorneys may use AI to adapt legal documents to their clients’ needs. But they must also learn how to spot problems in AI-generated documents — omissions, wrongful additions, inaccurate law, legalese, and poor typography. They need to instruct ChatGPT or other generative AI to continue revising until the document reflects best practices.
In short, our students as future attorneys need to know …
