Notre Dame is where Justice Amy Coney Barrett ’97 J.D. earned her law degree, discovered her calling to teach, and built a community that continues to sustain her. As the first Notre Dame graduate to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, she saw answering that call as an opportunity to serve. In the 2026 Notre Dame Lawyer magazine, she shares a personal look at her journey to the U.S. Supreme Court, her commitment to mentoring future lawyers, and why Notre Dame still feels like home.

How can law schools prepare the next generation of lawyers to navigate the growing role of artificial intelligence in the practice of law while remaining grounded in ethical judgment and the values of responsibility, accountability, and transparency? Yesterday, several Notre Dame Law faculty members, including three professors from the Notre Dame London Law Programme, joined leading scholars and legal practitioners from around the world at BMA Advogados in Brazil to explore this question and many others through discussions centered on the theme, "AI and the Future of the Legal Profession." The panel discussions examined the opportunities and risks presented by AI, the ethical responsibilities of lawyers and law students, and the challenges of regulating rapidly evolving technologies.
From questioning whether AI belongs in the classroom to exploring how it can enhance legal education, the panelists brought diverse perspectives to a shared challenge: preparing future lawyers not only to adapt to technological change, but also to think critically, exercise sound judgment, and uphold the human values at the heart of learning and the legal profession.
