  1. Module 01

    Modern Artificial Intelligence for Legal Professionals

    A working mental model of artificial intelligence for legal work: what machine learning, generative AI, language models, retrieval, agents and document AI actually do, taught through everyday law-office tasks, so you can tell what a tool is doing before you trust it with a matter.

  2. Module 02

    What AI Can and Cannot Reliably Do

    Why a fluent AI answer can still be wrong, how fabricated citations and stale law arise, why the same question can get two answers, and how to build the habit of doubt that keeps AI-assisted legal work verifiable. Taught with measured error rates, real sanctions decisions and annotated fictional examples.

  3. Module 03

    Confidentiality, Privacy and Attorney-Client Privilege

    Learn what the duty of confidentiality actually covers, where an AI tool puts the text you give it, how consumer and enterprise accounts differ on training and retention as published on a stated date, how privilege and work-product protection can be put at risk when a third-party model is in the room, and a recorded decision method for asking "can I put this into this system?" before you type.

  4. Module 04

    Professional Responsibility and AI

    Apply the duties of competence, communication, fees, candor and supervision to generative AI in daily practice, then build and keep a record of what your own licensing jurisdiction and your forum actually require, because the answers differ from state to state and from judge to judge.

  5. Module 05

    AI-Assisted Legal Research

    Run legal research with AI the way a careful lawyer runs it: a fixed eight-stage workflow from question to work product, a clear line between an assistant and an authority, a verification and citator step for every citation, and a provenance log the file can defend.

  6. Module 06

    Prompt Engineering for Legal Professionals

    A nine-part architecture for legal prompts, a recorded method for testing and improving them, and ten working prompt patterns for summaries, chronologies, issue spotting, deposition preparation, contracts, discovery, research, memos, policy analysis and client communication, each built so that a licensed attorney can verify the output quickly.
