About
Artificial intelligence in legal education and practice
Within a short time, artificial intelligence has ceased to be a question for the future and has become part of how law is taught, applied and practised. Students use it in their studies, courts and public authorities are testing it in their work, and lawyers rely on it in everyday tasks, often before any shared standards have been agreed. Research on these developments is growing, but it is largely carried out within separate disciplines and legal traditions, with limited exchange between academia and practice. The conference brings together scholars and practitioners from Poland and abroad to compare experience and to examine where generative AI tools help, where they create risk, and what standards their use requires.
Over two days, the programme combines plenary sessions, thematic panels and discussions. The event is addressed to legal scholars, doctoral researchers and students, and to judges, public officials and legal practitioners. Participation is free of charge and is possible in person at the Faculty of Law and Administration, University of Warsaw, or online via live stream. Registration is required. After the conference, selected interviews, expert commentaries and session summaries will be published in open access on this website.
Three pillars
Conference themes
AI in legal education and research
If a Gen-AI tool can produce a plausible legal argument in seconds, what should a law degree certify? Speakers will address current debates on the acceptable use of AI in coursework and theses, on assessment that tests understanding rather than output, and on the competences graduates will need.
AI in courts and public administration
What role can AI play in the work of courts and public administration, and under what conditions? Speakers will compare national approaches and judicial guidelines, and the safeguards needed when automated tools support decision-making.
AI in legal practice
How are lawyers actually using Gen-AI tools, and where does professional responsibility lie? The discussion will cover current uses as well as the standards set by professional bodies and the risks of automating legal work.
Declaration
Declaration on the Ethical and Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in Law Education and Research

One of the most important events of the international conference hosted by the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Warsaw, supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, AI in Legal Education and Practice, is the signing of the Declaration on the Ethical and Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in Law Education and Research by associated Deans of law faculties at Polish state universities.
The signed Declaration will become an important signal for the academic environment and law practitioners, emphasizing the need for the simultaneous development and implementation of artificial intelligence with responsibility, transparency and protection of the fundamental ethics of science and education.
