About the course

A premium, responsibility-first course on using artificial intelligence in legal practice in 2026 — built for licensed lawyers, in-house counsel, paralegals and legal operations professionals. You will learn where AI genuinely accelerates legal work (AI-assisted legal research with mandatory citation verification, contract review and clause extraction, first-draft contract drafting, due diligence and eDiscovery/document review, summarization and structured extraction, legal writing for memos and briefs, client intake and communication, and practice management) and — just as importantly — where AI must never substitute for a lawyer's professional judgment. Dedicated modules cover the non-negotiable guardrails of the profession: verifying every AI citation because models hallucinate cases that do not exist, protecting client confidentiality and attorney-client privilege, avoiding the unauthorized practice of law, the duty of technology competence, GDPR obligations over personal data, and the EU AI Act, under which some legal and justice uses are treated as high-risk. The guiding principle throughout: AI assists a licensed professional; the lawyer supervises, verifies and remains fully responsible. This is educational content, not legal advice — always follow your bar association and jurisdiction's rules of professional conduct. Includes real example prompts, workflows, verification checklists, an AI acceptable-use policy skeleton and a comprehensive final assessment.

Who it is for

For professionals who want to use AI in their everyday work, without writing code. It belongs to AI for Business, on the Business track.

What you need

Intermediate level: it helps to already know the basics of AI and of the course’s field. No programming required.
