Generative AI is now a core operational skill for practicing lawyers, not a future concern. This masterclass teaches you to use it competently, ethically, and defensibly across real legal work.
Taught by a Technology Lawyer, Author and Legal AI expert, the course moves from fundamentals to a complete firm-wide system. You will start with legal prompt engineering, mastering the C.R.A.F.T. framework and techniques like few-shot prompting and Chain of Thought to turn a generic AI into a precise legal associate. You will then work through the drafting workflows that produce defensible memos, demand letters, and contract clauses without ever exposing privileged client information to a public model.
Ethics and compliance sit at the center of the course. You will learn your professional responsibility duties under ABA Formal Opinion 512, map your obligations across state bar rules and standing court orders, apply a seven-check governance framework to any legal AI tool, and understand when the EU AI Act reaches your practice.
You will also get hands-on with Claude, the AI tool built for reliable legal work, covering its large context window, low-hallucination design, and accuracy on legal tasks. You will see how Skills, Artifacts, and Projects combine on a real contract review, and how to run Claude on your desktop with Cowork and Claude Code for document-heavy matters.
Every section is built around practice, not theory. You will apply each technique to real, anonymized documents, use copy-ready prompt templates, and work from checklists you can reuse on live matters the same day. The lessons are short, focused, and designed to fit around a working caseload.
Finally, you will build a firm AI system and a 30-day implementation plan you can start on Monday morning, complete with an AI use policy, an approved-tools list, role-based training, and an incident response plan.
By the end, you will draft faster, verify rigorously, and stay firmly within your ethical obligations.
