A new Above the Law column argues that legal education needs a fundamental overhaul to account for artificial intelligence. Titled "Law School In The Age Of AI: Rethinking It From The Ground Up," the piece frames the current moment as an opportunity to rebuild how lawyers are trained.
The only substantive line in the excerpt is: "We could be on the eve of better lawyers sooner." That suggests the author believes a from-scratch redesign could accelerate improvements in lawyer quality, rather than relying on incremental tweaks to existing programs.
Because the excerpt stops there, it does not detail specific proposals—no mention of curriculum changes, AI tools, or accreditation reforms. As a single opinion piece, it should be read as an argument for urgency rather than a report on concrete plans.
