King's launches world-first AI Literacy Programme for law students and staff
The AI Literacy Programme will give law students and staff free access to the world’s leading legal AI tools.
The Dickson Poon School of Law has announced a landmark AI Literacy Programme, giving every law student and staff member free access to the world’s leading legal AI tools - Luminance, Legora, Harvey, and Lucio AI - alongside a customised 12-week online course and weekly practitioner workshops.
The initiative, led by Professor Dan Hunter, Executive Dean of the Law School and world-leading AI and law researcher, positions King’s at the forefront of global legal education, ensuring all members of its community can confidently engage with the AI technologies transforming legal practice.
Partner organisations welcomed the collaboration:
“Expanding the Harvey Law School Program to the UK and partnering with The Dickson Poon School of Law at King’s College London to give all law students access to Harvey's platform is an incredibly exciting step for us,” said John Haddock, Chief Business Officer at Harvey. “We will work closely with faculty to offer student workshops, curriculum embeds, and collaborative projects that explore AI’s role in law and society.”
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with King’s and providing our collaborative legal AI platform to staff and students within the law,” said Alex Fortescue-Webb, Head of Legal Engineering at Legora. “We’re especially excited to work with King’s innovative Legal Clinic. By integrating our platform into clinical work, students will see first-hand how responsible AI can enhance real-world legal service and access to justice.”
“Luminance is excited to partner with King’s on this forward-looking AI Literacy Programme,” said Harry Borovick, General Counsel at Luminance. “As a practitioner — and next summer, teaching a masters-level module on AI Governance at King’s — I’m especially excited to help bridge theory and practice for law students graduating into the AI era.”
“As a purpose-led legal innovation company built in India with a global vision, we’re rethinking what it means to practice law in the age of AI,” said Vasu Aggarwal, Co-Founder of Lucio AI. “We believe building AI literacy is now critical to the future of the profession, and we’re excited to support King’s College London’s initiative because it helps students and staff move beyond passively using AI to actively governing and shaping it. That’s exactly where the next generation of the legal ecosystem needs to go.”
The AI Literacy Programme launches in January 2026.
