Generative AI is reinventing legal education and practice! It’s a big statement but as the events and resources on this page demonstrate, there’s a lot of evidence to support it.

The Centre for Legal Innovation (CLI) launched its Legal Generative AI Initiative in February 2023 to create a platform for local and global discussions, discourse, and debate on the application of generative AI in all facets of legal practice and, consequently, legal education too.

The Initiative has twelve parts:

1. The first Roundtable Series from March – July 2023 with lawyers (private, corporate and government), allied legal professionals, legal educators (academics, pracademics and clinicians), law students, access to justice professionals, and regulators, across the legal ecosystem. You can download a FREE copy of the 2023 Roundtable Report here.
2. The Legal Generative AI Summit on 24-25 October 2023: The Summit featured presenters and panellists from all stakeholder groups, comparing and contrasting the progress made in Australia and worldwide.
3. The Legal Generative AI Summit 2023 Report: This Report summarises the key takeaways from the Summit and each of the 9 sessions.
4. A CLI Distinguished Fellowship in Emerging Technologies.
5. A Legal Generative AI Global Community: a learning community for everyone in the legal ecosystem to access relevant, lightly curated content and immediately connect with people everywhere.
6. Legal GenAI Clinic – Experiments and Use Cases: a regular online meet up to share experience, learn, and connect on legal GenAI in action.
7. The AI for Legal Series: a multi-episode video and podcast series on the fundamentals of AI for law students, lawyers, and allied legal professionals.
8. The Legal GenAI Around the World Series: a multi-episode video and podcast series discussing similarities and differences in GenAI globally.
