Weil launches a two-summer AI program putting selected 1Ls on its LASER AI engineering team, with return offers to the 2L class

Weil will place a select group of first-year law students in a 10-week 1L summer role with its LASER (Lawyer Augmented Solutions Engineering and Research) team, where they learn Python, build a neural network and help develop legal software, then return in the 2028 2L summer class. Applications opened Oct 15; the first cohort joins in summer 2027. Why it matters: a recruiting and development model that treats AI literacy as an entry-level credential.
