AI can give you an answer in seconds, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right answer. 

In this episode of Between the Briefs, Adrian Cea and Joe Stephens sit down with Patrick Baker, law professor at University of Tennessee at Martin and Founder of Baker Law Firm, for a practical conversation on legal education, AI, critical thinking, law school reform and what it really means to think like a lawyer.

Plus, Patrick’s hottest take: AI is built to please you, and lawyers should remember that shouldn't be the priority.

 

AI can help lawyers and students move faster, but only if they already know how to think, question, verify and tell the difference between a useful answer and a dangerous one.
