Ƶ Law Announces Collaboration with Harvey AI
November 4, 2025—Ƶ Charles Widger School of Law is one of twelve schools that recently joined the “Harvey for Law Schools” Program, an initiative that provides access to Harvey AI, a domain-specific generative AI for legal and professional services. Designed to streamline workflows in areas such as contract analysis, due diligence, compliance and litigation, Harvey AI has been adopted by numerous law firms across the country.
As part of the program, all Ƶ Law second- and third-year students and faculty have access to Harvey AI. Faculty can choose how to incorporate the program into their classrooms, and the platform provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on, practical experience in using AI ethically and effectively in a variety of practice areas spanning both litigation and transactional contexts.
This semester, in conjunction with joining “Harvey for Law Schools,” Ƶ Law established an AI working group, led by Professor and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Heather Baum. Comprised of faculty and staff across the law school, the group has been discussing AI, its impact on student learning and how to incorporate AI technology into the curriculum in a way that represents tools students will see in the real world while upholding the school’s core educational mission.
The first course to implement Harvey AI in the classroom, Law Practice Technology, is taught by Amy Emerson, assistant dean for library and information services and professor of law.
“It's important to be thoughtful and strategic in our adoption of AI tools in the academic setting,” said Emerson. “I look forward to working with my colleagues to continue to do so in a way that reflects our values as educators.”
