The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST), scheduled to be launched in late of 2007, is the next generation satellite for high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. The Large Area Telescope (LAT), the main instrument of GLAST, will survey the sky in the energy range between 20 MeV to more than 300 GeV, shedding light on many issues left open by its highly successful predecessor EGRET (Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope). The Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are one of the most exiting science topic for the LAT, which will open an new window, exploring these sources in a energy range never observed before. Even if little is know at high energy, we would like to address, in this contribution, some of the features of the GRB spectrum that theories predict and that LAT can observe. Finally we would like to present some results about the study of the sensitivity of the LAT to GRBs.
