Law School Limits Laptops as AI Transforms Work

University of Chicago Law School Dean & Professor Adam Chilton said increasingly capable AI is already transforming legal practice by handling research, document review and other tasks traditionally assigned to junior lawyers, forcing schools to reconsider which distinctly human skills graduates must provide. Joining Bloomberg This Weekend Chilton explains to hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini that Chicago's new strategy limits technology in core first-year classes to strengthen listening, reasoning and spontaneous analysis while expanding AI training in legal writing, clinics and other courses so students learn to work both independently and effectively with the tools used by law firms.
