Harvey Launches Law School Alliance With Top Universities

Harvey announced a law school alliance with Stanford, NYU, Michigan, UCLA, Texas, and Notre Dame, offering free AI tools for legal education in 2025-2026.

Key points:

  • Harvey launched a law school alliance program with Stanford, NYU, Michigan, UCLA, Texas, and Notre Dame.
  • Students and faculty gain free access to Harvey’s generative AI platform during the 2025-2026 academic year.
  • The partnerships build on a pilot program and vary in scope by institution.
  • The initiative follows Harvey’s recent partnership with LexisNexis and expansion into Mexico.

Harvey, a legal artificial intelligence company, has formally announced a law school alliance program that will integrate its generative AI platform into classrooms at several leading U.S. law schools, including Stanford, NYU, Michigan, UCLA, the University of Texas, and Notre Dame. Details of the program were reported by Legaltech News.

Under the initiative, participating law schools will receive free access to Harvey’s technology throughout the 2025-2026 academic year. Faculty, students, and administrators will also collaborate with Harvey on developing curricula and lesson content focused on generative AI. The company noted that program structures will differ based on each school’s curriculum priorities and student needs.

“We are excited to see how we can best partner with each school in a manner that works for their curriculum, their faculty priorities, and their unique student needs,” Carl Fuda, Harvey’s head of partnerships, said in an email exchange. He emphasized that students will gain hands-on practice with skills transferable across a range of AI tools, particularly in areas such as prompt design.

The alliance expands on a year-long pilot program in which select schools trialed Harvey’s platform. According to Fuda, those pilots highlighted the importance of engaging law school leadership early, including deans, libraries, and multiple faculty members. Several participating schools also have Harvey alumni among their faculty or student body, which facilitated adoption during the pilot phase.

The move comes at a time of heightened activity for Harvey. Earlier in August, the company unveiled an integration with LexisNexis, called Ask LexisNexis, within its platform. Days later, Harvey announced the formation of a local team in Mexico, further extending its geographic footprint.
