In this module, you will move from understanding generative AI to using it effectively. You will learn foundational prompting techniques, including persona prompts, few-shot prompting, and flipped interaction prompts, and explore how these strategies can improve the quality and usefulness of AI-generated outputs. You will also examine the types of tasks large language models perform well—and where they continue to have limitations. Through legal-specific examples and hands-on practice, you will develop the skills needed to use generative AI as a practical tool for drafting, analysis, brainstorming, and other legal workflows while maintaining appropriate professional judgment.

In this module, you will examine the broader implications of generative AI for the legal profession. You will explore lawyers' ethical and professional responsibilities when using AI, including issues of competence, confidentiality, supervision, and responsible use. The module also considers how AI is reshaping legal practice, the role of enterprise and legal-specific AI tools, and the continued importance of legal research databases. Finally, you will evaluate common questions about the future of legal work, including whether AI will replace lawyers, and consider emerging trends that are likely to shape the next generation of legal services.
