One of the world's top law schools draws a hard line against AI in legal education

UC Berkeley Law will prohibit AI use in nearly all graded student work starting summer 2026.

The ban covers brainstorming, drafting, revising, translating, proofreading, and exams, with only limited research use allowed.

Professors may set narrow course-specific exceptions under the new policy.

The move highlights growing concern in legal education about accuracy, bias, and protecting core reasoning skills.
