Practicing Law with AI and Big Data

2 credits · Law School

Artificial intelligence systems are already being employed at firms. Expert systems (rule-based AI) are used to automate workflows, while machine learning systems (data-driven AI) are used to manage complex litigation and provide strategic intelligence. These latter systems require large swaths of data, termed big data, to provide the computer sufficient information to perform predictions. This course will pull back the curtain on the different systems, allowing students of all skill levels to critically engage with the ethical implications of these systems on the practice of law. Prereq: Law 110 Civil Procedure and either Law 160AB LARW or LAW 300 LARWINT.
