Generative Ai And Finding The Law, Paul D. Callister Jan 2025

Generative Ai And Finding The Law, Paul D. Callister

Faculty Works

Legal information science requires, among other things, principles and theories. The article states six principles or considerations that any discussion of generative AI large language models and their role in finding the law must include. The article concludes that law librarianship will increasingly become legal information science and require new paradigms. In addition to the six principles, the article applies ecological holistic media theory to understand the relationship of the legal community’s cognitive authority, institutions, techné (technology, medium and method), geopolitical factors, and the past and future to understand the changes in this information milieu. The article also explains generative …


The Employment Benefits Of Law Clinics And Externships, Robert R. Kuehn Jan 2025

The Employment Benefits Of Law Clinics And Externships, Robert R. Kuehn

Scholarship@WashULaw

One of the reasons law students enroll in a law clinic or externship is the belief that the experience will improve their marketability. In a nationwide survey asking what was driving demand for their courses, 94% of externship directors and 66% of law clinic directors said it was, in part, because students believe those courses improve employment opportunities. Surveys of recent law graduates and employers show that students' perceptions of the positive impact of a clinic or externship experience on their job opportunities upon graduation are well founded. Research shows that clinics and externships do aid graduates in obtaining their …


How New Lawyers Value Law School Experiential Training, Robert R. Kuehn Jan 2025

How New Lawyers Value Law School Experiential Training, Robert R. Kuehn

Scholarship@WashULaw

While the legal academy continues to debate the appropriate role of experiential training in preparing graduates for practice, one group consistently embraces its value: newly-licensed lawyers. In repeated surveys over the past twenty years, early career lawyers, as well as experienced attorneys, report that law clinic, externship, and simulation courses play an important role in legal education. The research summarized herein demonstrates that newly-licensed lawyers highly value their law school experiential courses, deem them important in their transition to practice, and believe their legal education did not sufficiently prepare them for practice.

In this Essay, I provide a brief introduction to the Volume and essays that follow. In Part I, I situate the Ferguson uprisings in the broader context of activism responsive to racial injustice in …


Grading Machines: Can Ai Exam-Grading Replace Law Professors?, Jens Frankenreiter, Kevin L. Cope, Scott Hirst, Eric A. Posner, Daniel Schwarcz, Dane Thorley Jan 2025

Grading Machines: Can Ai Exam-Grading Replace Law Professors?, Jens Frankenreiter, Kevin L. Cope, Scott Hirst, Eric A. Posner, Daniel Schwarcz, Dane Thorley

Scholarship@WashULaw

In the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have achieved significant technical advances, such that legal-advocacy organizations are increasingly adopting them as complements to—or substitutes for—lawyers and other human experts. Several studies have examined LLMs' performance in taking law school exams, finding mixed results. Yet there have been no published studies systematically analyzing LLMs' competence at one of law professors' chief responsibilities: grading law school exams. This paper presents results of an analysis of how LLMs perform in evaluating student responses to legal analysis questions of the kind typically administered in law school exams. The underlying data come from …


An Anthology Of Interference In Law School Clinics, Peter A. Joy, Robert R. Kuehn Jan 2025

An Anthology Of Interference In Law School Clinics, Peter A. Joy, Robert R. Kuehn

Scholarship@WashULaw

An Anthology of Interference in Law School Clinics explores interference in law school clinics in the United States, addressing its long history and the legal ethics, academic freedom, and First Amendment responses to that interference. Law clinics have faced interference in their representation of clients from elected officials, business groups, alumni and, at times, even their own school administrators. This interference has targeted clinics for providing individuals and nongovernmental organizations with legal representation on important matters, including racial and gender discrimination, environmental issues, prisoner rights litigation, death penalty cases, and immigration and human rights matters. In each instance, the interference …

Andrew Phang (Gen. Ed.), Pioneer, Polymath And Mentor: The Life And Legacy Of Yong Pung How, Kwan Ho Lau, Bryan Leow

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Many know the story of modern Singapore in broad outline. When the country attained independence in 1965, it was not industrialised and fishing villages still dotted the landscape. By 1990, GDP per capita had risen to around US$13,000, far exceeding its neighbours and on par with Hong Kong and New Zealand. A further three decades on, Singapore today boasts gleaming skyscrapers, well-developed infrastructure and a high degree of trust by residents and investors alike in its government.


Ontological Inquiry In The World Of Law: Bringing Forth Subjective Experiencing From The Shadows, Margarida Garcia Dec 2024

Ontological Inquiry In The World Of Law: Bringing Forth Subjective Experiencing From The Shadows, Margarida Garcia

Turning Toward Being: The Journal of Ontological Inquiry in Education

This article explores how we assess the value of ontological inquiry in the world of law, and to that end, it seeks to bring forth “seeings” that show up when we open the “curtains” of law, and engage the world of law as a field of subjective experience. By revisiting subjective impressions left from participation in the world of law, and that, for the most part, have remained unexamined, the author imagines what an “ontologically sensitive” approach to legal education, practice, and scholarship might look like and be if more space was given to those who participate in those …

Bluebook Vs. Alwd, Joshua Levine Nov 2024

Bluebook Vs. Alwd, Joshua Levine

Library Staff Online Writings

During law school and afterwards, the one citation guide I relied on was The Bluebook. Its rules, explanations, and organization defined how I cited legal resources. Any limitations or gaps in The Bluebook caused me frustration and forced me to get creative, as I figured out solutions that seemed consistent with the rules.

The Challenge Of Legal Citation Systems, Joshua Levine Oct 2024

The Challenge Of Legal Citation Systems, Joshua Levine

Library Staff Online Writings

Mastering legal citation means understanding multiple citation systems. In addition to the Bluebook, fifty states produce fifty sets of laws, and each state decides how it wants its own materials to be cited. For case law, the Bluebook advises authors to use the West Reporter citations if available, but to add public domain citations if a state uses them. However, a state’s internal rules may require citation to the official state reports. All this creates a maze of rules that practitioners need to follow. Legal citation presents difficulties for law students that law librarians and instructors need to appreciate, so …

New Study Shows Legal Research Platform Ai Tools Do, In Fact, Hallucinate, Olivia Smith Schlinck

For better or worse, artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the legal landscape. But a recent study highlights a critical issue: AI’s tendency to “hallucinate,” or generate false information. This problem raises significant concerns about the reliability of AI in legal practice.
