School AI policy
Duke University School of Law
What Duke University School of Law has published about AI use in coursework, from the school's own documents, checked Sept '26.
What the school says
The published policy
Duke Law's own Honor Code brochure, 'A Primer on Academic Integrity' (current version created August 2025, referenced by the signed Honor Pledge), directly addresses generative AI: absent express faculty permission, students may not use AI for exams, papers, assignments, or any coursework planning or drafting, and any permitted use must be cited like any other source. This is a law-school-specific provision folded into the existing Honor Code, not a deferral to a separate university-wide AI policy.
From the school’s own document: “you may not use artificial intelligence in your classes for exams”
AI disclosure on submitted work: Prohibited by default under the documents reviewed.

Your state bar has its own rules
School policy governs coursework. The moment you practice, your state bar's position on AI takes over.
Read your state's AI rules for lawyers, and before you build any AI habit, learn the concepts that make AI use defensible.
This page states only what Duke University School of Law’s own published documents said when checked in Sept '26; schools revise these documents, sometimes at the same URL, so confirm the current version before relying on it. This is informational research, not legal or academic advice; the school’s current honor code and your professors’ instructions control. To correct this page, contact us with the school’s current document.
