Time’s almost up for registration, and if you’re a lawyer or marketer, you won’t want to miss this! This CLE-approved webinar is packed with practical insights for immediate use. AI’s evolving fast, and the legal profession is already actively using these tools.
Here’s why this session is essential for you and your team:
Agenda Overview:
The presentation will break down what AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot really mean for law and how you can use them right away to make your work easier, faster, and more effective.
In under an hour, you’ll gain hands-on knowledge of prompt engineering and learn tips for maximizing AI’s benefits across areas like legal research, drafting, and even client communications.
- What is Generative AI?
Generative AI goes beyond traditional AI by creating new content, whether text, images, or data. In our session, we’ll focus on Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, which are designed to mimic human language and handle tasks ranging from simple drafting to complex legal arguments.You’ll get a concise intro to AI categories, from general Machine Learning (ML) to the specialized realm of Generative AI, where models learn from data to produce new, contextually relevant outputs.
- Using ChatGPT as a Legal Professional:
This section covers real-world applications that legal professionals find most useful, from document review to due diligence. You’ll see how ChatGPT can assist with:- Drafting contracts, intake forms, and client letters.
- Translating legal documents for international clients.
- Conducting due diligence in M&A, summarizing large volumes of documents, and identifying key terms and risks.
- Research and brief writing, even helping draft initial arguments and organize case law.
- Prompt Engineering Essentials:
The key to getting the most out of AI is mastering how to ask the questions that elicit the best results, called “prompt engineering.” We’ll delve into crafting prompts that include context, task clarity, and output format—like instructing ChatGPT to draft a contract outline in plain language or summarize a complex legal precedent. Effective prompting can transform ChatGPT from a basic tool into a sophisticated assistant that adapts to specific legal needs.
- Ethics, Confidentiality, and ChatGPT:
ABA Rule 1.1 (Duty of Competence) demands that lawyers stay updated on technological developments, especially if they improve efficiency and client service. But AI use also raises confidentiality concerns, covered by ABA Rule 1.6. We’ll discuss the ethical landscape, potential risks, and how to responsibly use ChatGPT without compromising sensitive data. - ChatGPT in Marketing and Content Creation:
For those in your marketing team, ChatGPT can streamline content creation for blogs, social media, and alerts. We’ll touch on the efficiencies AI offers, like drafting targeted content quickly and crafting bios, newsletters, and educational articles — all without sounding robotic.
- What AI Means for Law Firms: Winners and Losers:
AI is here to stay, but it’s also changing the game. We’ll consider who benefits most from AI — whether large firms with high rates or smaller generalist firms — and discuss the implications for hourly billing rates and client expectations. With AI making many tasks more efficient, rates may shift, and the legal profession will need to adapt. - Beyond ChatGPT – The Future of AI in Law:
As we close, we’ll look at the evolving landscape: how AI might eventually handle predictive analysis in cases, provide insights on settlement ranges, or even assist in complex litigation preparation. AI isn’t a replacement for lawyers, but it will likely supplement — and sometimes outperform — certain traditional tasks. Understanding these shifts early on will keep you ahead of the curve.
Invite your firm’s Marketing and Professional Development teams, too, as the discussion on prompt engineering and content creation will be invaluable for their roles. This CLE provides a blend of technical training, ethical guidelines, and forward-looking insights tailored for legal professionals.
