As generative AI (GenAI) transforms legal education and practice, we’ve curated resources on its applications in law school, higher education, and legal practice. Given the dynamic nature of GenAI development and use, these resources will be regularly updated. Last semester we weren’t able to update regularly, but we are back to regular updates this Fall semester! (last update – 8/12/2025)
Other Berkeley Law GenAI resources and information:
- Berkeley Law Generative AI Policy
- Generative AI Guide for Law Students (provides a GenAI overview and addresses how this technology is being used in legal practice. It also covered general GenAI news and tips)
- We’re collecting a broader group of resources in a Zotero group library; to access the attachments (the online library includes only metadata), please email kchamorro@berkeley.edu.
