The Competitive Legal Job Market is Changing

Getting hired after law school isn’t just about strong legal writing and research skills anymore. Law firms are actively seeking candidates who can work efficiently with AI-driven tools to streamline workflows and reduce costs.

The legal field is rapidly embracing AI for contract analysis, case research, and litigation support, making AI literacy a key differentiator for new graduates.

Yet, most law schools aren’t preparing students for this shift. That’s why learning AI tools like David AI now will give you an edge when applying for jobs.

Why Law Firms Are Prioritizing AI Skills

AI in the Legal Field is Already Here

Who will firms hire if your competitors understand AI and you don’t?

By using David AI in law school, you’ll gain hands-on experience with AI-driven research and writing, giving you a competitive edge before you graduate.

How David AI Gives You an Edge

Law Student Scenario: Meet Jenna

Jenna is in the middle of a brutal semester, balancing internships, clerkships, and a demanding law school workload.

Her professor assigned a complex case brief due the next day, and her internship supervisor requests a legal memo on contract ambiguities—both in one night.

Determined to manage her time effectively, Jenna turns to David AI to streamline her workflow, not replace her effort.

Jenna uploads her case law PDFs into David AI, to organize key rulings and extract citation-backed precedents, allowing her to focus on analysis instead of spending hours searching through documents. With David AI’s assistance, she:

  • Quickly identifies relevant legal precedents
  • Structures her research into clear, IRAC-style outline
  • Refines her legal memo with stronger arguments and clarity

By leveraging AI as a tool rather than a shortcut, Jenna enhances her writing and legal reasoning while meeting both deadlines without sacrificing quality. She walks into class fully prepared, impressing her professor. Later that day, she gave her supervisor a legal memo on contract ambiguities. Both are impressed with her work and her ability to use legal tech efficiently while maintaining strong legal analysis.

Firms seek law students who can handle pressure and use AI effectively, just like Jenna.
