Artificial intelligence will profoundly transform legal work in both research and practice. Law firms, authorities, and courts will expect future graduates to be able to use AI-driven tools effectively and efficiently in practice, whether in contract analysis and drafting, the preparation of legal briefs, or the scrutiny of companies in internal investigations or due diligence.
