NYCB AI Conference: Teaching Legal Tech in Law Schools, Keeping Up With Global AI Regulation
A conference hosted by NYCB brought together legal professionals to discuss how law schools are incorporating legal technology into their curricula and how practitioners can stay current with fast-moving AI regulation across different jurisdictions.
Why this matters: The lawyers advising companies on AI policy are mostly trained on law that predates the technology. That gap is real and closing slowly. If law schools do not teach legal tech seriously, the next generation of attorneys will spend years catching up while their clients make consequential decisions about data, automated systems, and liability. Global AI regulation is also not one thing — it is a patchwork, and the rules vary enough that the same product can be legal in one country and prohibited in another. The people who understand both law and the technology have unusual power right now.
