Help Us Understand AI in Law School Teaching – Please Complete a 5-minute Survey by Friday, September 26

Our colleagues, Hal Abramson, Alyson Carrel, Noam Ebner, Dwight Golann, Sharon Press, and I recently discussed the use of AI in teaching.

We want to know how our colleagues are using AI in their courses, if at all.  So I am conducting a research study entitled “Use of AI in Teaching” asking about your experiences, plans, and perspectives.

We would REALLY APPRECIATE it if you would take about 5 minutes to respond to the short survey below by Friday, September 26.

We hope all faculty will respond regardless of whether you use AI in your courses or not — and whatever your views about the benefits and problems with AI use.
