Gould School of Law, the law school at the University of
Southern California, has introduced an on-campus certificate
specialization in Law and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The
certificate will enable students to navigate the various legal
issues related to the development and use of AI programs, including
privacy, IP, antitrust law, ethics and more.
AI is transforming how law is practiced, utilized and
referenced. Recognizing the opportunities and challenges that AI
innovation carries and the immediate need for professionals
well-versed in the application of AI, USC Gould School of Law will
offer immersive coursework tied to the regulatory and practical
implications of AI within the law and its broader societal
impacts.
“As AI reshapes the legal industry, it is imperative that legal
professionals possess the expertise to leverage the transformative
potential of AI while also addressing the associated legal and
ethical considerations,” Franita Tolson, USC Gould School of Law
Dean and the Carl Mason Franklin Chair in Law, explains. “Our
cutting-edge curriculum provides practitioners with the specialized
knowledge and skills needed to thrive in this evolving legal
area.”
Through multidisciplinary education, Gould continues to offer
innovative, flexible coursework that meets growing demands of the
legal field. On-campus students earning a Master of Laws (General
LLM) degree or LLM in Privacy Law and Cybersecurity degree will
learn foundational U.S. law in addition to specialized AI law
through this optional certificate, offered concurrently with the
degree at no additional cost. The certificate may also be earned as
a standalone credential. Students in all USC Gould LLM degree
programs benefit from individualized academic advising,
professional development and networking opportunities offered
throughout the year.
