AI in Basic Legal Research
"This presentation session will explore how we teaching librarians at Elon Law incorporated artificial intelligence (AI) into our Basic Legal Research class. At my institution, all first-year students are required to take a one-credit Basic Legal Research class in their fall trimester. Last fall, we condensed our federal and state administrative law sessions into one class. This created space and time in our schedule to teach AI. Then we decided the structure of the AI class: a brief Powerpoint lecture followed by an exercise. While the details of our Powerpoints differed, we touched on similar themes: bias, privacy and security, availability, productivity boost, etc.
Next, we assigned our students an in-class exercise. This exercise asked students to copy and paste a prompt into LexisAI and a free AI program of their choosing (Gemini, ChatGPT, etc.). The students next had to compare the Lexis response, the response of their AI, and our TA’s response. At the end, we got together as a class and discussed their results. I will conclude the presentation by reflecting on the strengths and weaknesses of this approach, and what I will do differently next time."--Program Description

American judges, particularly Federal District Court Judges, are possibly the most professionally well-documented people in the world. Every opinion, every motion, every three-minute hearing is meticulously recorded and provided for public dissemination via PACER. It is this massive dataset that has allowed for the development of modern analytics services like Lex Machina, Ravel Law, Westlaw and Bloomberg Analytics, and so forth. However, the functionality of these services has always been constrained by the logistical issues with assigning new metadata as search/sorting criteria: there’s simply too much data to classify, so Analytics services have always relied on the metadata assigned by PACER or whatever state e-filing system they draw from.
AI eliminates these logistical constraints. It can classify the data by any number of new, non-obvious criteria outlined by its trainer, allowing analytics services to wield the exhaustive record of a judge’s career to reveal preferences and proclivities in a way that may shake our profession to its core.
