Details

Against the backdrop of the challenges and opportunities presented by the advances in generative AI, this book combines a critical, yet practical, examination of the place of authenticity in legal assessment in higher education.

Part I and Part II evaluates the ever-evolving concept of authenticity in, and for, assessment, examines the role of authenticity within the employability agenda and considers how law schools might respond to the advances in generative AI. Throughout, the authors deliberate current issues for legal education including assessment validity and the impact of AI and generative AI on student learning and cognitive function. Part III, drawing on 20 diverse legal assessment case studies from legal educators across the UK, presents examples of innovative and creative legal assessments and how these have been, or may be, adopted to respond to the advances in generative AI.

How To Embed Authenticity in Legal Assessments is an essential read for legal educators and researchers interested in legal assessment and the future of legal education. It will also be beneficial for senior leadership teams seeking to integrate valid, fair, and innovative assessment design into their law curriculums.
