Students are building prototype tools aimed at tasks like jury analysis and legal drafting. Mississippi College School of Law now requires all first-year students to complete a course on artificial intelligence, according to a report by Mississippi Today. The Jackson-based college is one of the first law schools to mandate AI instruction for all students.

The requirement comes as courts confront both the potential benefits and the risks of using AI tools in legal practice. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts warned that generative AI can fabricate information and lead lawyers to cite non-existent cases, raising concerns about reliability and due process in the legal system. More recently, in February, a federal judge ruled that defendants' conversations with AI chatbots are not protected by attorney-client privilege and can be admitted as evidence.

The decision prompted law firms across the country to send notices to clients, and even amend some agreements, as law offices increasingly turn to AI tools themselves. And now law schools, too, are being forced to adapt to the new normal. The AI course at the Mississippi College School of Law was first announced in October and requires all first-year students to complete a certification course on artificial intelligence and the law, and aims to teach students how to use the technology responsibly and verify its outputs rather than rely on it blindly.

“MC Law is looking to take the lead in preparing the twenty-first-century lawyer for the effective and ethical use of AI to better serve their clients and communities,” Mississippi College School of Law Dean John P. Anderson said in a statement. According to Mississippi College, the class was designed and taught by Oliver Roberts, editor-in-chief of AI at The National Law Review and founder of Wickard AI.

“Whether you like AI or not, I believe you should be learning about it because you can strengthen your arguments for it or against it by learning the foundational concepts of it,” Roberts told Mississippi Today. Mississippi College School of Law joins a growing list of schools offering courses on AI fundamentals.
