UF researchers develop AI role-play tool to teach legal literacy to future educators

A University of Florida professor has replaced a traditional essay assignment in his graduate school law course with an AI-driven simulation called PrincipalGPT, in which students act as school attorneys advising an AI-generated principal on legal and ethical dilemmas. The interactive format is designed to help students apply real statutes to practical scenarios through live dialogue rather than static writing. Researchers are now working to extend the model into professional development programs for K-12 administrators statewide.
