The Bocconi Law School AI Forum has been launched, with the aim of supporting the modernization of the legal profession. The first event will take place on November 16

AI now permeates every field of knowledge and every profession. Even the legal profession, increasingly focused on the future, must embrace new technologies to keep pace with the times. It is precisely with this in mind that the Bocconi Law School AI Forum was established, aiming to position the Bocconi Law School as a leading platform for the modernization of education in law. It brings together companies specializing in AI applied to law, leading law firms, major employers in the legal sector, and Bocconi faculty to discuss the standards by which future lawyers should be trained for a profession supported by AI.

The initiative follows agreements with Harvey, a U.S. company, and Legora, a Swedish company, which will allow students, faculty and researchers in the School of Law and the Global Law program to access, starting in the new academic year, Artificial Intelligence platforms designed for legal work. The goal is not simply to add a new digital tool to the curriculum, but to train students to use it competently, with a critical eye, attention to sources, awareness of technological limitations, and respect for professional responsibilities.

The collaboration with Lexroom, an Italian platform, will also provide support for initiatives related to Italian law.

“Our ambition is not simply to introduce AI tools into law education, but to ensure that future attorneys, notaries, and judges—as well as other legal professionals working in businesses and institutions at various levels of responsibility—learn to use these tools critically, responsibly, and intelligently, while preserving the doctrinal, methodological, and ethical foundations of the legal profession,” says Pietro Sirena, Dean of the Bocconi Law School.

“At this first meeting of the Forum, some of the leading players in the field of AI services for lawyers will come together with members of our faculty—including the directors of Bocconi Law School’s undergraduate and LL.M. programs—along with many of our alumni, to critically discuss the responsibilities and limitations of using these tools and their impact on the future of the legal professions.”

The first event in the Forum series, titled ‘AI and the Future Standards of Legal Education’ will take place on November 16, at 9:30am, in Room N02 of the Del Vecchio Building at Bocconi University. The conference will also be available to watch in streaming.
