This article explores the level of perceived self-efficacy in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) among law students. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional design was employed, with the participation of 49 students who responded to an online questionnaire. The instrument assessed confidence to learn and apply AI in jurisprudence research, drafting legal documents and other academic tasks. The findings show a favorable disposition toward AI adoption, although significant gaps in knowledge and technical proficiency persist. In addition, a large proportion of respondents expressed interest in receiving formal training, evidencing a need for institutional support. Concerns about the ethics and accuracy of AI highlight the importance of addressing these issues within legal training. The study contributes to understanding the challenges and opportunities of integrating emerging technologies into the education of future legal professionals.
