CSU Law AI Advisory Council

Cleveland State University College of Law's AI Advisory Council is a group of distinguished practitioners, industry leaders, legal technologists, and academics—working alongside CSU Law faculty and administrators—to help guide CSU Law's broader AI Strategy. The Council's membership reflects the reality of today's legal market: organizations are adopting AI quickly, but they need lawyers who can pair innovation with sound judgment. Drawing on deep experience in AI governance, privacy and cybersecurity, IP and technology transactions, legal operations, and responsible enterprise adoption, the Council helps CSU Law stay aligned with what clients and employers expect—now and next.

The Council's role is practical and forward-looking. It supports CSU Law's efforts to build practice-ready AI fluency through a combination of curriculum integration, co-curricular training, and employer-informed credentials—including the AltaClaro partnership and certificate programming—while reinforcing the professional fundamentals that matter most: confidentiality, verification, competence, and accountability. In partnership with our faculty and staff the Council helps identify priority skills, shape programming and events, and spot emerging issues at the intersection of law and AI so that CSU Law graduates are prepared not only to use AI tools effectively, but to advise clients responsibly in an AI-supported legal profession.
