What University of Virginia 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
UVA Law's own Academic and Conduct Policies (verified via Wayback Machine snapshots dated 2025-05-25 after live pages returned bot-detection 403s) contain two parallel AI provisions. Section IV (Papers) prohibits using artificial intelligence to write any paper or written work unless specifically authorized in writing. Section V (Examinations) lists artificial intelligence among exam aids barred absent written authorization. Both are Law School-specific rules layered on top of the university-wide Honor Committee's Honor Code, which does not itself contain AI-specific language.
From the school’s own document: “use of artificial intelligence in the process of writing any paper”
AI disclosure on submitted work: Prohibited by default under the documents reviewed.
