What the school says
The published policy
UW Law's Honor Code, Section 2-101, defines 'cheating' to include using online sources, including artificial intelligence interfaces, to complete assignments, exams, tests, or quizzes without the permission of the instructor. Section 2-212 clarifies that this permission can come from either a Law School default policy or an individual professor's own course-level policy, so in practice each instructor controls whether AI use is authorized in their course.
From the school’s own document: “solution manuals or artificial intelligence interfaces without the permission of the instructor”
AI disclosure on submitted work: Prohibited by default under the documents reviewed.

This page states only what University of Washington 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.
