Arkansas Law Review Generative AI Policy

Purpose:
Arkansas Law Review (“ALR”) recognizes that generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools may provide limited benefits to legal scholars in the early stages of developing academic work. As these technologies continue to evolve, ALR seeks to provide clear guidance regarding the appropriate and ethical use of AI in submissions. Acknowledging the rapidly changing nature of these tools, this policy may be updated as standards for legal scholarship develop. Outside authors are expected to comply with this policy throughout the submission, review, and editorial process.

Author Responsibility:
ALR expects outside authors to use AI tools responsibly, ethically, and transparently. Authors may use AI tools in a limited, supporting role, such as assisting with preliminary research, data organization, or idea generation. However, AI tools may not be used to draft, rewrite, or substantively edit any portion of a submission. All legal research, analysis, argumentation, and writing must be conducted and composed by the author. Authors are responsible for verifying the accuracy of any material influenced by AI tools and must ensure that AI-generated content does not introduce errors, bias, or misrepresentation.

Disclosure:
Authors who use AI in the production of a submission must disclose which tools were used and for what specific purposes.
