The impact of generative AI on legal education promises to be as disruptive if not more so than its impact on legal practice. In this Centre for Legal Innovation new blog post, Oliver Nassau explores this through an excellent overview of issues, challenges and the search for solutions. Oli wrote the post originally as a briefing paper for a Roundtable conducted in August 2024 as part of a project being undertaken by Jeannie Marie Paterson, Julian Webb and team at the Centre of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Ethics at the University of Melbourne Law School, under the Ninian Stephen Law Program, powered by the Menzies Foundation. I had the good fortune of being invited to and contributing to that Roundtable - thank you again Jeannie and Julian - meeting Oli and experiencing first hand their excellent work in this space. If you are working in legal education, please take a few minutes to read this blog post, you’ll then have lots of helpful and critical information at your fingertips! Thanks so much again, Oli - fabulous work and thank you also to you and all at MelbourneU for permission to republish. #CLI2024 #legaled #legalgenai

A quick reminder to all in Australia that this AI in government policy comes into effect on 1 September 2024. Lots of commentary on this so will be posting different views/takes as they emerge in the Centre for Legal Innovation's dedicated LinkedIn Legal Generative AI Global Community Group - please join us: https://lnkd.in/gK4nP5e4.
We have published the policy for the responsible use of AI in government. Coming into effect 1 September 2024, the policy aims to build public trust by encouraging responsible choices across the APS through its use of AI. Transparency and accountability are key goals. Agencies need to identify accountable officials and publish a public transparency statement to plainly explain their use of AI. The policy will continue to adapt with ongoing evaluation of AI uses. The DTA will support agencies with standards and guidance, encouraging cross-government coordination and collaboration to integrate AI responsibly.

You know how sometimes you get to do something REALLY cool? Well, next week is going to be one of those for me when I have the great honour of moderating and then facilitating the Closing Plenary Panel at the #CLOCAPAC Summit in Sydney on August 20 & 21! We're going to kick off the session with a debate - yes, getting into the REAL nitty gritty of...wait for it...whether or not "Gen AI will change law firm pricing for good"! This is such an important topic and it's even more important we put all the cards on the table - the practicalities AND the realities - we'll do that! Then, we'll get into the BIG thing that wraps around this, influences it, changes it, or entrenches the status quo now and for our future...how we can leverage GenAI to reshape legal ecosystem relationships. The REALLY cool thing? I get to chat about all of this and learn from these legal legends: Genevieve Collins, Anna Golovsky, Michelle Mahoney and Petra Stirling - amazing! Please come and join us in person at #CLOCAPAC Summit - you can still register here: https://lnkd.in/gfCQZQ5p. #CLOCAPAC #CLI2024 #legalgenai #lawfirms #legalcounsel #legalpricing #legaltech

So great to see these AI and law degrees start to emerge. Thanks so much for sharing Josh and wonderful to see you as faculty as well - fabulous!

When entered Berkeley, I had but one goal: To deepen my understanding of technology law and regulation, to empower the re-designing of societal relationships disrupted by emerging technologies. Never did I once expect that I would one day have the chance to give back to my alma mater — in the same field that I had been taught. It’s thus been really heartening and gratifying to be chosen as part of a group of pre-eminent and highly esteemed colleagues (listed below) to help guide University of California, Berkeley - School of Law’s launch of its pioneering AI law degree program! Berkeley Law‘s AI Law and Regulation certification for its executive LLM students is intended to equip legal professionals to navigate the complexities of AI, and is innovative as it is significant. Set to begin in summer 2025, the program — now open for applications — couldn’t be more timely. Thrilled to be able to play a small role as part of the faculty's advisory group, and grateful to wonderful people like Adam Sterling, Anya Grossmann and Rachel Zuraw for providing such a wonderful opportunity!
