In this insightful discussion, LeighAnne Thompson, Associate Director for Digital Innovation at Seattle University School of Law, shares her expertise on the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in legal education and practice. With a focus on AI literacy for law students, LeighAnne emphasizes the importance of understanding AI beyond just using research platforms encouraging future lawyers to grasp its ethical implications and potential for precision in legal work.
She also highlights how MiAI Law, led by Laina Chan, is pioneering AI-driven tools to empower legal professionals by providing secure, evidence-based solutions that maintain human intuition while improving efficiency. As legal education adapts to include AI tools, LeighAnne discusses the delicate balance between innovation and maintaining core skills like legal reasoning and analog research, ensuring that future lawyers are equipped with the necessary tools for success.
As the field of law becomes increasingly digital, LeighAnne stresses the significance of ensuring AI enhances, rather than replaces, human judgment. Both Seattle University Law and MiAI Law are leading the charge in preparing the next generation of lawyers for a future where technology and ethics intersect in the pursuit of justice.
