AI for Legal
Use AI in legal practice competently and ethically — capturing the real efficiency gains while avoiding the fabricated-citation sanctions and confidentiality traps that have caught lawyers at firms of every size.
AI is reshaping legal work — research, drafting, contract review, and e-discovery. It has also produced a wave of sanctions: well over a thousand documented cases of lawyers filing AI-fabricated citations, from solo practitioners to national firms.
This course teaches lawyers, paralegals, and legal-ops professionals to use AI where it genuinely helps, while meeting their duties of competence, confidentiality, candor, and supervision. It is grounded in the actual cases (Mata v. Avianca and after), the ABA and state-bar guidance, and the Stanford research on legal-AI hallucination. Current for 2026. This is education about professional responsibility, not legal advice — consult your bar's rules and counsel for your situation.
What you'll be able to do
- Use AI across legal research, drafting, review, and e-discovery
- Understand the hallucination/sanctions problem and how to avoid it
- Meet ethical duties — competence, confidentiality, candor, supervision (ABA Op. 512)
- Build a verification-first workflow and choose enterprise-grade tools
