University of Chicago Law School Restricts AI and Device Use for First-Year Students

The University of Chicago Law School is implementing new policies for first-year students, banning digital devices in classrooms and requiring manual note-taking to promote critical thinking. These rules also address responsible AI use, preparing students for its role in the legal field. This move aligns with broader efforts, as Chicago Public Schools have also limited AI tool access, and the Illinois State Board of Education has issued statewide AI integration guidance.
