Now, both the LAW Platform and the editorial board of Law & Method are organizing a follow-up study afternoon, this time focusing on generative AI in education and assessment. We aim to go beyond initial exploration. Much experimentation has already taken place with the use of generative AI in legal education and assessment. It is becoming increasingly clear what is possible - and how this challenges the validity of current assessment practices. This raises fundamental discussions: about learning objectives, potential changes to them, and how we as universities can and should respond.
We want to discuss three topics:
- Learning objectives: Fundamental questions raised by GenAI, particularly regarding writingskills and independent critical thinking
- Methods: How GenAI can be used and how we can teach critical thinking
- Asessment: Reflection on the rules and guidelines concerning assessment and its design(especially rubrics) given the existence of GenAI.
During the day, you are very welcome to contribute to one or more of the topics with a short pitch. Are you interested to contribute? Please email m.c.m.geuskens@vu.nl by 5 January 2026.
