A new article from QUT Law Lecturer Nicole Landy published in Law, Technology and Humans outlines findings from a seven-month study involving students enrolled in QUT’s Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice, also known as the Practical Legal Training (PLT).
Participants engaged with several GenAI use cases embedded in their law subjects. Surveys were used to assess participants’ experiences of the incorporation of GenAI into the subjects.
Implications from this study include an improved understanding of how best to embed GenAI in legal curriculum and assessment to ensure law students are provided with opportunities to explore the appropriate and responsible use of GenAI and to develop their AI literacy skills.
Nicole notes:
these insights can be used by legal educators to inform decisions about how specific GenAI tools are meaningfully incorporated in curriculum design, teaching and learning. Student input can help refine the integration of GenAI in legal education to better prepare law students for legal practice using GenAI technologies.

A special collection of articles (including this article by Nicole) around the theme: Legal Education in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence will be published in late November (Volume 7, Issue 3).
