Law schools are trying to train future lawyers at the exact moment AI is replacing the work that used to train them. The profession is caught in the middle, and the real question is what kind of lawyer comes out the other side.

In this episode, Marcia Narine Weldon draws on fifteen years inside law schools, her work evaluating frontier AI systems, the 2025 CLEAR report on legal education reform, and what is now happening in courts to look at how judgment gets built, why it is harder to build now, and what the future of the legal profession may actually require.

In this episode:

Why what looks like fragility in law school is often something else
What the CLEAR report found about new lawyer readiness
How AI is reshaping the work that used to train lawyers
Why even major firms are getting AI wrong, and what courts are now requiring
A verification approach for anyone using AI for legal questions
A focus tool you can start using this week
