Abstract
This article addresses the different topics law schools are teaching and how each either succeeds or fails at teaching students to be technologically competent. This article provides a small guide to some of the proven-successful classes and technologies taught and how they can be incorporated into a law school's current curriculum. This article aims to assist in creating a bright line and uniform standard to assist all law schools in producing "tech-savvy" lawyers. A big part of being technologically competent is the ability to understand and utilize, not rely on, artificial intelligence. This article discusses the use of artificial intelligence in the legal field, and how it can best be taught to law students, who will inevitably come across and use it as practicing attorneys. This alters how legal research is taught and, combining the education of legal research and legal technologies, aligns with the overall suggestion that a uniform standard of legal technology should be created.
