Harvard's Center on the Legal Profession @HLS_CLP has published a full issue on licensing reforms. I'm pleased to have coauthored the lead article, which includes empirical data. clp.law.harvard.edu/knowledge-hub/…
Very honored to receive the Judith Welch Wegner Award from the AALS Section on Empirical Study of Legal Education and the Legal Profession. Judith was a leading light in this field--she is deeply missed.
NCBE has removed a sample question from its NextGen site, tacitly agreeing with a problem that GPT-4 identified. lawschoolcafe.org/2023/11/16/the…. Does this point the way towards new ways for all of us to use AI?
What are the "fundamental legal concepts and principles" that NCBE aims to test on NextGen? It's complicated. lawschoolcafe.org/2023/11/06/fun… #NextGen #NCBE #Barexam
NCBE should publish the specific rules that it plans to test on the NextGen exam. lawschoolcafe.org/2023/11/03/lay…. Fairness to all stakeholders requires that.
Sometimes AI even updates the bar exam. My explorations turned up a sample NextGen question on which NCBE is testing an outdated minority rule. lawschoolcafe.org/2023/10/30/the…. More later this week on what this means for AI and the bar exam. #barexam #AI
We already know that AI can pass the bar exam. But what happens when AI produces better answers than the bar exam? lawschoolcafe.org/2023/10/26/gpt… Answer: We need to change both legal education and licensing. #barexam #lawschool #GPT
The third in my series exploring how GPT-4 can assist new lawyers. In this installment: preparing to talk to your client. lawschoolcafe.org/2023/10/11/que…
Here's the second post in my series showing how GPT-4 can assist new lawyers. Including how to talk back when the BOT says something nonsensical. lawschoolcafe.org/2023/10/09/the…
How will GPT-4 affect entry-level law practice? And what can that tell us about legal education and the bar exam? I explore those questions in a series of posts starting today: lawschoolcafe.org/2023/10/06/the…
What does GPT-4 have to say about improving legal education and licensing? Glad you asked. lawschoolcafe.org/2023/03/20/gpt…
What does ChatGPT tell us about lawyering competence and the bar exam? @BLaw news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-p…
The July bar exam required test takers to recall not one, but two, versions of the rule against perpetuities. lawschoolcafe.org/2023/01/16/the… Yet another absurdity in the quest for minimum competence. #barexam
Words to remember from the AALS Annual Meeting: "Don't disparage." Wise words from Dean Danielle Conway. See more here: lawschoolcafe.org/2023/01/07/don… #AALS2023

Nice shout out to Professor @law_djm. Her research is so foundational for courts that are really looking at attorney licensure.

It's my birthday week y'all, so I'll be sharing good news all week. First up: I received my formal invitation letter for my visitorship at @UCalgaryLaw! So excited to work with @LawDeanHolloway and to learn more about the pros and cons of the Articling system for atty licensure.
It's not everyday that a law school gets to host a state supreme court but today at @WillametteLaw we had the privilege of hosting the Oregon Supreme Court for a pair of oral arguments (which were fantastic) and a luncheon afterward.
Join us in congratulating Prof. Ruqaiijah Yearby who recently received the McDonald-Merrill-Ketcham Award from the IU McKinney School of Law's Hall Center for Law and Health!
Appreciate the nod to Oregon's work in this great piece from @law_djm & @DeanMaryLuBilek: "Licensing programs based on practice portfolios, like Oregon’s Provisional Licensing Program, offer a more realistic evaluation of contemporary lawyering." news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-p…
If an AI can answer bar exam questions in minutes, doesn't that strongly suggest we need to rethink how licensure candidates demonstrate the ability to practise law? @law_djm & @DeanMaryLuBilek news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-p… Includes shout-out to Oregon's bar exam alternative project.
@law_djm and @DeanMaryLuBilek say that #ChapGPT helps make the case for better competency measures and against old-school bar exam questions. news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-p…
