As AI tools like ChatGPT become increasingly accessible, legal professionals are under growing pressure to understand both their practical applications and professional risks. This CLE course offers attorneys a clear, hands-on introduction to using generative AI in day-to-day legal work—without compromising ethical obligations or quality standards.

Attendees will see how AI can streamline tasks such as summarizing case law, comparing documents, drafting client communications, generating motion templates, and organizing research. The session includes real-time demonstrations, plug-and-play prompt templates, and a breakdown of workflows that integrate AI into legal drafting and analysis.

The course also focuses on risk management, including how to identify and avoid unreliable outputs (hallucinations), outdated legal citations, and potential data-privacy concerns. Attorneys will leave with a practical system for converting legal facts and authority into clear, organized work product—plus an ethics checklist to help ensure compliance in an evolving regulatory landscape.
