If
you
thought
it
was
hard
to
get
in
to
a
T14
as
a
student,
imagine
the
uphill
battle
you’d
be
facing
if
you
were
selling
them
software!
Most
law
schools
are
so
conservative
in
their
approach
to
teaching
devices
that
their
only
student-focused
large
language
model
is
the
Bluebook.
Despite
the
challenges,
Harvey
convinced
Stanford,
UCLA,
NYU
and
Notre
Dame
to
adopt
the
AI
in
order
to
experiment
with
their
students
keep
generations
of
future
lawyers
on
the
cutting
edge
of
legal
tech.
That
was
back
in
August.
Since
then,
Harvey
boosted
their
presence
in
several
additional
prestigious
law
schools.
According
to
their
website,
the
new
law
schools
welcomed
to
the
fold
are:
WashU,
Penn,
UChicago,
Boston
University,
Fordham,
BYU,
UGA,
Villanova,
Baylor,
SMU,
and
Vanderbilt.
This
list
isn’t
in
order
of
acquisition
of
course
—
just
personal
preference.
For
anyone
wondering
about
the
score,
Harvey
landed
8
of
the
17
top
14
law
schools
in
the
country!
That
isn’t
a
typo
by
the
way.
Maybe
the
inclusion
of
Harvey
will
be
the
thumb
on
the
scale
the
schools
need
to
bring
us
back
to
a
list
of
14
that
actually
makes
sense.
That
said,
if
the
schools
that
added
Harvey
to
their
repertoire
fall
in
rank
while
the
ones
that
abstained
go
up,
it
might
not
be
the
best
look
for
the
LLM
specifically
catered
to
law.
A
word
to
the
students:
no
matter
how
good
the
AI
is,
remember
that
you’re
ultimately
the
one
that
has
to
do
the
learning.
You
shouldn’t
need
to
be
humbled
by
a
closed
book
written
exam
before
you
take
that
to
heart.
