What the school says
The published policy
The University of Tennessee College of Law's Policy on Generative AI (effective Spring 2025, published in full directly on the College of Law's own library guide site) prohibits generative AI absolutely on exams unless the instructor specifies otherwise. Outside of exams, generative AI may be used for research similar to a search engine, for grammar correction, and similar functions, but may not be used to compose any part of an academic matter for the College of Law, and may never be used in a way that would constitute plagiarism.
From the school’s own document: “the use of generative AI is absolutely prohibited in any exam”
AI disclosure on submitted work: Prohibited by default under the documents reviewed.

This page states only what University of Tennessee College 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.
