Law Faculty Use of Artificial Intelligence

This study looks at how 103 law school faculty from more than 60 law schools use artificial intelligence. The study gives highly detailed data on which applications they use, how they use it, and how much. In addition, the study takes a close look on where faculty get their training for artificial intelligence applications, how much they feel that they need such training, and how satisfied they are with their training. The study helps its reader to answer such questions as: how many faculty have taken AI training from their law schools? From their law library? Through AI or other vendors? How do they feel that the use of AI has impacted their personal productivity? What do they need from AI training that they are not currently getting? How much time do they spend using AI applications?Data in the report is reported in the aggregate for the entire sample and broken out by many institutional and personal criteria such as law school ranking and size, and personal respondent age, gender and work title, among other variables.Just a few of this 55-page report’s many findings are that:Use of ChatGPT was higher among faculty who taught more courses, with those teaching two or more courses spending much more time on ChatGPT than faculty who taught less than this or not at all.About 35% of faculty never use AI tools in their teaching or research.Female faculty were more than twice as likely as male faculty to say that their use of AI had made them more productive.Use of law school workshops to learn about AI was particularly common by faculty at top 20 law schools.
