AI is changing legal practice faster than most firms are prepared for. This course gives lawyers and legal professionals an honest look at what AI can do for contract review, research, and due diligence — and what ethical and malpractice exposure to watch for.
This is a text-first course that links out to the best supporting material on the internet instead of trying to replace it. The goal is to make this the best course on ai for legal you can find — even without producing a single minute of custom video.
Every lesson surfaces the professional responsibility implications. Confidentiality, unauthorized practice, competency obligations — covered before the tools.
This course focuses on AI tasks where you can verify the output: contract review checklists, research summaries, document comparison. Not open-ended generation you can't check.
The examples use real legal document formats — MSAs, NDAs, asset purchase agreements, case briefs. Not hypothetical exercises.
Each day is designed to finish in about an hour of focused reading plus hands-on work. No live classes, no quizzes.
Each day stands alone. Read them in order for the full picture, or jump straight to the day that answers the question you have today.
