Abstract
This report presents findings from a 2025 survey of U.S. law faculty about their own use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT and how their students use them as well. Most respondents reported using AI at least occasionally for teaching-related purposes, and many estimated that a majority of their students used it in their courses.
Faculty identified benefits such as time savings, idea generation, and improved clarity. They also reported significant concerns about students’ over-reliance on AI, as well as the unreliability of its outputs.
Most faculty had revised assignments and assessment practices and provided guidance to students about responsible AI use. However, many felt unprepared to determine whether students had used AI.
The report concludes with implications for policy, pedagogy, and future research.
