I thought it might be of general interest to post my Spring 2024 syllabus for my AI & Law class. I regret that many of the hyperlinks to the assigned readings won’t work because they are to internal copies I made, which I can’t share directly for copyright reasons, but I’ve provided citations so it should be easy to find them online. Links to the optional readings generally should work.
I’d welcome comments on overall organization, and also on what I should cut — there’s a lot I wish I could have added — and what I should add for next year.
