Optimization Doc Start diagnosis → AI for Lawyers
Use AI for research, drafting, and document review. Practice checking its work and protecting client information.
Register for $1,000Use AI to improve the first draft. Keep judgment in the room.
An AI-generated memo can read well and still cite a case that does not exist. We will practice finding those errors, checking the sources, and deciding what needs your review.
You will see where the tools can help, where they can fail, and what a responsible workflow needs before an AI-assisted result is ready for human review.
What you will practice.
Try the tools, including a dedicated look at ChatGPT for Law, check their output, and build a process you can use in your practice.
Structured prompts
Give the model a job it can show.
Practice a repeatable structure for role, task, facts, constraints, output, sources, and verification.
Failure lab
Catch the citation that sounds right.
Work through fabricated citations, omissions, jurisdiction errors, and overconfident conclusions.
Confidentiality
Protect information before you paste.
Use mock or sanitized material to discuss retention, training, permissions, access, and approved systems.
Document work
Keep the first draft traceable.
Try review, fact extraction, clause comparison, and drafting workflows that keep source locations visible.
Pilot planning
Leave with one testable next step.
Choose one workflow, one tool, one success measure, and one safeguard for a practical 30-day pilot.
We will spend time on ChatGPT for Law.
A dedicated part of the workshop will cover OpenAI's legal-focused offering in ChatGPT, including Astra for Law. We will explore legal research, document workflows, and the review and confidentiality questions to ask before using it in your practice.
Astra for Law is initially available to selected law firms through Trusted Access. Workshop registration does not include product access. Explore OpenAI's offering for law firms →
