    Vanderbilt AI Law Lab

  • Building, testing, and teaching the future of legal AI

    The Vanderbilt AI Law Lab (VAILL) at Vanderbilt Law is dedicated to fostering curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, bridging the gap between technology and law through a human-centered approach.

    VAILL brings together law, technology, design, and practice to explore how artificial intelligence can improve legal education, legal services, and access to justice. We collaborate with legal organizations, educators, researchers, technologists, and community partners interested in thoughtfully exploring what AI can—and should—do in law.

  • Key Initiatives: VAILL focuses on four main areas to advance the understanding and application of AI in legal education and practice.

    Build & Experiment

    We design and test practical applications of AI for legal services, legal education, governance, and access to justice.

    Teach & Train

    We prepare law students and legal professionals to work critically, effectively, and responsibly with AI.

    Research & Share

    We study the changing legal AI landscape and share what we're learning through research, publications, and The AI of Law.

    Collaborate

    We bring together lawyers, technologists, educators, students, and community partners to tackle problems that no single discipline can solve alone.

  • Be a part of our community.

    Hosting events that bring together students, legal professionals, technologists, and community partners, VAILL creates space for hands-on learning, cross-disciplinary dialogue, and collaborative problem-solving at the intersection of law and technology.

  • Through radical collaboration with partners across disciplines and industries, VAILL is working to bridge the gap between advanced technology and practical legal applications.
