[Eril-l] Primary Research Group Inc. has published the Survey of Law School Faculty 2025, Use of AI Features from Major Legal Publishers, ISBN 979-8-88517-292-9

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

*This study looks at how and how much law school faculty are using
artificial intelligence tools incorporated into the products of major legal
publishers such as Lexis, Bloomberg, Westlaw and others.  The report helps
its readers to answer questions such as: which AI features are most
appreciated?  Which have the most impact? Do faculty feel supported in
their efforts to use these tools?  How often are faculty using various AI
tools? What has been the role of the law library in support and
development?  Which faculty defined by position, gender, age, size and
ranking of law school and other variables are the most and least enthused
about various AI applications. *



*Just a few of this 109-page report’s many findings are that:*

·         Younger faculty (under 40) reported higher engagement with tools
like CoCounsel and LawGeex, while older faculty (50-60+) had lower
engagement but still rated Lexis Brief Analyzer and Bloomberg Draft
Analyzer as “Essential.”

·         Male respondents showed slightly higher engagement with Bloomberg
Draft Analyzer and Westlaw Edge, while female respondents leaned toward
Lexis+ and CoCounsel.

·         Faculty at private law schools exhibited higher overall AI tool
usage than did those at public colleges.

·         Faculty at top 20 law schools had lower engagement with AI tools
than did faculty at lower ranked schools.

·         30% of respondents considered it "extremely important" to equip
law students with AI-powered legal research tools.

·         Female faculty were more likely (36%) than male faculty (22%) to
rate AI training as extremely important.

*Data and commentary in the report is based on a survey of 134 law school
faculty from more than 80 law schools in the USA and Canada. *
