Law professor: stop asking how students use AI, ask what they build with it
jkubicki · x · 2026-11-13
The author argues most law students treat AI as a search engine, ghostwriter, or flashcard maker—and fear it makes them dumber—missing the real advantage of building with it.
His students build "coverage desks": agents that learn what they care about and brief them weekly on an emerging area of law. The key idea: the AI doesn't do your thinking, it gives you more to think about. Students who build gain the most.
