Description

Legal work is changing faster than most professionals realize. AI tools are already being used across law firms and in-house teams to accelerate research, draft contracts, review documents, and support compliance monitoring. The question is no longer whether AI will transform legal practice, but whether you will be ready when it does.

This course gives you the practical framework to get ready.

Designed specifically for lawyers, paralegals, in-house counsel, and legal operations professionals with no technical background, this course takes you from understanding what generative AI and AI agents actually are, to applying them confidently across the full range of legal tasks you handle every day.

You will explore high-impact use cases across legal research and case law analysis, contract drafting and review, litigation support, compliance monitoring, and client communication. You will learn how to choose the right tool for each task, selecting from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and specialized legal AI platforms based on the specific demands of your workflow.

You will build structured AI workflows that go beyond single prompts to repeatable, reliable processes with appropriate human oversight for legal judgment and risk. And you will develop a clear understanding of the risks that matter most in legal practice: hallucinations and citation accuracy, attorney-client privilege and confidentiality, professional responsibility obligations, and the emerging regulatory landscape governing AI liability.

The course closes with a hands-on section where you select your first use case, build a one-page adoption plan, and follow a 30-day action checklist to move from curiosity to confident implementation.

No technical background required. Just a commitment to practicing law at the level your clients and colleagues will soon expect.
