AI Essentials CLE Package: 3 Dual Hours

Courses Included

• Using AI to Accelerate Your Writing
  
  

  This program will demonstrate how lawyers can use AI to become more efficient in their writing, without compromising accuracy or professional judgment.

  AI provides us with the ability to rapidly polish our legal writing. Using this technology, we can instantly make our drafts smoother, test our logic, find typos, identify ambiguity, and monitor our tone. However, due to the specialized nature of legal communication, when we use AI ineffectively, it has the reverse outcome—making our writing slower.

  During this session, the instructor will comb through the prompting techniques (i.e., the instructions you give to AI) that will ensure you are harnessing AI’s power in a way that speeds up your writing rather than holds it back. A prime example of when AI can slow you down is when you ask it to make a document more concise. For instance, when you instruct AI to shorten a client letter or a court filing, this request often backfires because AI tends to strip away the subtlety that was important to you but undetectable to “the robot.”

  • Craft prompts that instruct AI to assist with your writing as efficiently as possible.
  • Rely on AI to help you quickly detect the weaknesses of a draft, such as faulty logic, typos, ambiguity, impolite tone, and inconsistency.
  • Guard against the shortcomings of AI, including its verbosity, unrestrained scope, “desire to please,” and lack of human touch.
  • Experiment with the “minimalist approach to prompting” in order to achieve maximum efficiency, while recognizing when lengthier prompts are required.
