Abstract
You might think ChatGPT would not work well to assist students in a law school class on Contract Drafting. The model was not created for that purpose and it has no legal training. But you would be wrong. There are deficiencies but they can easily be compensated for. A student who knows what they are doing can use the model to do the work for a drafting class. As a result, law professors who teach Contract Drafting need to understand how to use ChatGPT, and how effective it can be as a drafting tool. And we also need to think about how the existence of AI programs like ChatGPT will affect our pedagogy in the future. If we don’t do that, students will be able to cheat on take home assignments and assessments, and they may not learn very much from the courses we teach.
