Bonnie J. Shucha (U Wisconsin Law) has posted “Closing the AI Readiness Gap: A Framework for Law Schools” (32 (2) Perspectives: Teaching Legal Research and Writing (forthcoming 2026)) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Gen AI literacy for new associates is expected, not optional, yet most law schools have not caught up, and students are arriving in practice without the foundational gen AI literacy skills to use these tools safely and effectively. Closing that gap need not mean a new curriculum or a major investment; it can be done by coordinating what a school already has, so that every student graduates prepared. This article offers a framework built on three co-equal questions: what students learn, when and where they learn it, and who coordinates the learning.
