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 – 3/5/2026)
Other Berkeley Law GenAI resources and information:
- Berkeley Law Generative AI Policy
- Berkeley AI Hub – Licensed Generative AI Tools
- Note that the Campus AI Sandbox (Beta), which is open to faculty and staff, now supports use-cases with P3 Data)
- 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.
Top GenAI News/New Resources
- ChatGPT-5.4 released on March 5, 2026; some early reviewers say it feels like a major leap in planning and coding; OpenAI says it “delivers even more consistent and polished results on real-world tasks that matter to professionals.” Interestingly, the product release mentions legal work several times, including this quote from the Head of Applied Research at Harvey: “GPT-5.4 sets a new bar for document-heavy legal work. On our BigLaw Bench eval, it scored 91%. Compared to other models, GPT-5.4 is currently better at structuring complex transactional analysis, maintaining accuracy across lengthy contracts, and delivering the high level of detail legal practitioners require.”

- Lexis expanded its Protégé AI platform with the announcement of Protégé General AI, a new feature that allows users to access multiple AI models (like Claude and GPT) within a secure workspace. It enables users to perform a variety of tasks from complex legal analysis to everyday brainstorming without switching between different AI tools. Ambrogi and Jean O’Grady covered this update, along with Lexis’s broader vision for “courtroom-grade AI,” new agentic workflows that allow lawyers to review and edit sub-prompts before receiving results, and updates on their partnership with Harvey AI for co-developing legal workflows.
