🖥️ The new Artificial Intelligence policy at UC Berkeley School of Law, effective Summer 2026.

📝 Here is the main rule:

"The use of AI is prohibited for aid in conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit. AI use is prohibited for any use for any purpose in any exam situation. Students may not upload course materials—including assignments, readings, slides, class recordings, or other class content—into generative AI systems. AI can be used for research on papers ONLY for the limited purpose of identifying sources, such as cases, statutes, or secondary sources."

Don't read Yale admin's report to understand how or why they lost touch with the school's educational mission. Read Eaton's Bankers in the Ivory Tower, Chap.4 on "How Universities Became Hedge Funds."
