What should a law degree teach now?
Craig Forcese leads the Legal Education Futures Project.
The context
What the reporting shows
Forcese’s experience testing AI against an exam frames a wider question about preparation for legal work. The Common Law project asks how teaching should respond as the technology changes. His classroom comparison is an illustration from one setting, not a benchmark establishing professional competence for AI systems.
The stakeholder lens
Who this work touches
Read this source-linked brief through five lenses: the university as source institution; the people and practitioners named in the reporting; the campus or civic setting around the work; the alumni reader who may carry the question forward; and any partner, which is left unassigned unless the source names one. No sponsor or outreach relationship is inferred here.
The takeaway
A question to carry forward
For alumni readers, the useful next step is to follow the original reporting for names, dates and outcomes. This digest adds an editorial frame while keeping the source page as the authority.
