Can AI help lawyers learn—or does it weaken the skills legal training is meant to build?

In this episode, Jen Leonard and Bridget McCormack are joined by Daniel Schwarcz, Fredrikson & Byron Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota Law School, to discuss new empirical research on artificial intelligence and human legal reasoning. Daniel explains a randomized control trial studying how law students used AI to synthesize legal materials, apply legal rules, and revise legal analysis—and why some results surprised even the researchers.

In this episode:

  • Why legal training may prepare lawyers to use AI well
  • What the University of Minnesota study tested about AI and legal reasoning
  • Why AI-assisted students performed better than expected
  • The risks of using AI for revision under time pressure
  • What law schools and law firms should take away from the research
