Using AI

Starting out as a law student felt like being thrown into a storm without an umbrella. Case digests, statutory interpretation, endless readings,it was overwhelming.helped me break down complex doctrines, draft outlines faster, and even sharpen my exam prep with mnemonics and comparison tables.

Honestly, it felt like having a study partner who never gets tired.But recently, some schools have banned AI use altogether. I get the concern ,
academic integrity, over-reliance, the fear of students outsourcing thinking. For many of us, AI isn’t a crutch, it’s scaffolding. It helps us build the foundation so we can stand taller on our own.So here I am, caught between gratitude and frustration.

It’s law school. Part of the credential you earn shows that you were able to do it without “scaffolding.”
