Relativity and Wickard.ai Join Forces to Enhance Legal AI Training in American Law Schools
In a significant move towards enhancing the education of future legal professionals, Relativity, a prominent name in legal data intelligence, has forged a partnership with Wickard.ai, an innovative company specializing in legal AI education. This collaboration aims to pave the way for comprehensive, hands-on legal AI training in law schools across the United States.
The initiative will amalgamate resources and expertise from both organizations, making it possible for law students to gain practical experience in the legal AI landscape. At no cost to participating schools, Relativity’s AI platform, RelativityOne, will be integrated into educational syllabuses, providing students with valuable insight into modern legal practice informed by advanced technologies.
Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity, emphasized the urgency of this educational venture: “AI isn't just looming over the legal industry; it has already arrived and is reshaping how law is practiced. Our responsibility is to ensure that the next generation of lawyers is equipped to navigate the evolving landscape of legal practice.” The Relativity Academic program has been instrumental in this endeavor for over ten years, and the partnership with Wickard.ai seeks to further this mission by fostering a new wave of AI-competent legal practitioners.
Wickard.ai’s curriculum will cover vital topics, such as the practical applications of AI in legal practice, the verification of AI-generated information, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI usage. Oliver Roberts, Founder and CEO of Wickard.ai, reinforced the growing significance of AI literacy in the legal field, stating, “Legal AI literacy is becoming a critical skill set that future lawyers must possess. We are excited to work alongside Relativity in providing a learning experience that combines theory with practical exposure.”
This partnership builds on Relativity’s existing success; since its inception in 2014, the Relativity Academic program has reached over 115 academic institutions globally, helping students stay ahead in the rapidly evolving legal landscape. Moreover, Wickard.ai has already made waves in legal AI education, offering the first required AI course at Case Western Reserve University School of Law and hosting AI programs at several other notable institutions.
To enhance understanding of how AI can be seamlessly incorporated into legal education, interested parties are invited to a webinar hosted by Relativity and Wickard.ai on April 30, 2026. This event will provide insights into the integration of AI into law curricula and how it can benefit both educational institutions and law students.
