Our Ethical Commitment

At MyDurhamLaw, we believe that integrity, honesty, and responsibility are the foundations of both legal education and the use of AI tools in academic settings. As we support future legal professionals, we are deeply committed to ethical AI use and transparent student support.

1. Academic Integrity

Students must use the AI Assistant only as a support tool to clarify concepts, draft initial outlines, or review feedback. All submitted assignments must remain your original work. Misrepresenting AI-generated responses as your own is a violation of academic honesty policies.

2. No Shortcut to Learning

Our AI tutor is designed to strengthen your reasoning, writing, and reflection skills. It is not a replacement for reading cases, engaging with your lecturers, or understanding legal doctrines. We aim to enhance—not replace—your academic journey.

3. Transparent Use of AI

We disclose when and where AI is used across the platform. All answers are AI-generated using secure APIs, trained to provide educationally safe and context-aware responses.

4. Respect for Privacy

All personal data and writing samples are securely stored, used only to personalize your experience, and never shared without consent. For more information, please review our Privacy Policy.

5. Building an Ethical Legal Community

As future lawyers, you are bound by principles of justice, confidentiality, and truth. We mirror these values in our platform. Our team welcomes accountability and feedback from students, faculty, and parents.

This policy is reviewed regularly and was last updated in July 2025.
