Welcome & How to Use This Course
AI can accelerate legal work—but only if you treat it like a junior assistant that requires supervision, verification, and guardrails.
This course is designed for legal professionals (including paralegals, staff, and supervising attorneys) who want a practical, defensible workflow for using AI tools ethically.
Training note: This course provides general information and operational guidance. It is not legal advice.
What you will learn
- How AI fails in legal workflows (and how to spot those failures early).
- How to keep work within role boundaries (especially for non‑attorney staff).
- How to protect confidentiality and privilege when AI is involved.
- How to document AI use so the supervising attorney can own the legal judgment.
Suggested workflow
- Read the lesson.
- Do the short activity (2–10 minutes).
- Complete the module quiz (importable CSV included in this package).
- Save the checklists—use them in real matters.

Quick role reminder
Non‑attorney staff: You can use AI to draft, summarize, extract facts, and organize information—if you stay within delegated tasks and your supervising attorney reviews and approves the legal judgment.
Supervising attorneys: You are responsible for competence, confidentiality, and accuracy—even when AI is used. Build supervision into the workflow.
