AI For Lawyers

A practical, one-day workshop that teaches lawyers how to use AI properly in their everyday work, from drafting and research to building tools that save real time.Beginner Friendly | Intermediate Level | For Non-Technical ProfessionalsMove Beyond Chat. Build the Tools Your Practice Actually Needs.Most lawyers have used ChatGPT or a similar tool at some point, usually to draft an email or look something up quickly.Very few have been shown how to use AI properly for actual legal work: how to check its output before relying on it, how to keep client information safe while using it, and how to set it up so it remembers your way of working instead of starting fresh every time.This workshop is built around how lawyers actually spend their day, whether that’s litigation, corporate advisory, or compliance.You’ll learn how to draft faster, research faster, and review documents faster using AI, while understanding exactly where it can go wrong and how to avoid that. In the second half, you’ll go a step further and build a working tool, a tracker for your matters and deadlines, using AI itself to build it.You’ll leave with that tool, the prompts behind it, and a clear sense of how to keep using AI well after the workshop ends.Workshop Module:Foundations: Verification, Privacy, and the Tools That MatterThe basics every lawyer should know before using AI for real work.Welcome & Icebreaker: “What’s Your AI Skill Level?”Simple AI vocabulary explained in plain languageAn overview of the AI tools available, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and AI tools built specifically for Indian legal workTools in Action: From Drafting to Building SkillsModule 2- Hands-on practice with the tasks that take up most of your week.Topics Covered:Drafting notices, replies, and contract clauses live, using AISetting up AI to remember your preferences, using custom instructions, Projects, and GemsSummarising a judgment, extracting its key points, and comparing it with another caseReviewing a contract with AI and getting the important clauses flaggedBuilding a Skill, a saved instruction you can reuse, so you never have to explain the same task to AI twiceSkills Acquired:Faster drafting of everyday legal documentsA properly configured AI assistant for your own workAI-assisted contract reviewA reusable Skill you can keep using after the workshopThe Build: From Chat to a Working ToolModule 3 - Moving beyond chat, and building something you can actually use.Topics Covered:Uploading a client statement and a police report, then asking AI to build a timeline or point out inconsistencies between the twoBuilding a working matter tracker, with deadlines and document status, live, using AI tools that write the code for youWhat else this approach can build, and how to keep going with the prompts you take homeSkills Acquired:Getting reliable, document-based answers from AIBuilding your first working tool with AI, with no coding experience neededA clear next step to keep building after the workshop
