In cooperation with the DeepWrite research project, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg is offering an online course on examination techniques in regard to the "Gutachtenstil" via the Virtuelle Hochschule Bayern (vhb). From the start of lectures in the winter semester 2023/24, we will be testing the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to correct short legal cases on the "Gutachtenstil" for first-year students. 

In the online course, students can have their texts checked by Chat-GPT-4 and corrected with the support of AI on a voluntary basis before they apply the "Gutachtenstil" in real-life exams. In particular, the AI will point out missing elements and suggest linguistic and stylistic improvements.

The pilot project also includes an evaluation of the AI-proofreading assistant and a comparison of the feedback from human tutors with that of the AI.

In a keynote speech at the AI & Law conference of recode.law, Dr. Martin Zwickel from the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg spoke about ChatGPT in legal education and about the cooperation project.
