How can Artificial Intelligence streamline the creation of complex academic assessments? In this session, a law school faculty member shares a case study on using AI tools to develop a comprehensive problem for a legal writing competition.
The presentation details a dual-platform approach:
Using Claude: To draft the initial problem statement and generate realistic factual exhibits, including affidavits, protective orders, and deposition transcripts, while also acting as an error-checker for inconsistencies.
Using Harvey AI: To draft the "bench brief" (the legal background guide for judges), effectively reducing a week-long task to a single afternoon.
The speaker highlights that while human intervention is still required to polish the output, AI significantly reduces the time needed for document creation. The discussion also looks ahead to how future competitions might integrate AI use by students themselves, shifting the focus from drafting to refining.
