Abstract
In November 2023, OpenAI released GPT-4-turbo. We had it take our Fall 2023 law school final exams and graded it on the same curve as students. We find an improvement from GPT-4’s performance on spring 2023 finals, where the highest grade was a B. This semester GPT-4-turbo got three B+’s, in Civil Procedure, Environmental Law, and Torts; a B in Contracts; B-’s in Constitutional Law, Corporate Tax, and the Intellectual Property Law Survey course; a C+ in Immigration Law; and a D in Election Law. The mean and median improved from GPT-4’s performance the prior semester.
