What University of Michigan Law School has published about AI use in coursework, from the school's own documents, checked Sept '26.
What the school says
The published policy
Michigan Law's Interim Policy on Student Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (effective academic year 2026-27) permits AI for studying/exam prep and for brainstorming/researching graded work product, but prohibits it during in-class participation, for outlining, drafting, editing, or revising work product, and during midterm or final exams, unless a professor's syllabus states a modified policy. Unauthorized use is treated as academic and/or professional misconduct under the Law School Standards of Conduct.
From the school’s own document: “it is not allowed for outlining, drafting, editing, or revising work product”
AI disclosure on submitted work: Set per instructor: the school leaves the rule to each professor or course.

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.
