Section Description
Instructor: Elliott Ash
This workshop introduces lawyers, legal scholars, and law students to practical uses of Large Language Models (LLMs) in legal work. The emphasis is on hands-on understanding—how to use tools such as ChatGPT to improve legal writing, research, drafting, and analysis. The course also covers confidentiality, data security, and ethical considerations when deploying AI in professional practice.
Participants will gain a working understanding of LLM capabilities and limitations, learn to design effective prompts for legal tasks, and explore how AI can support reasoning, drafting, and data analysis in real-world legal settings.
