Employees at top companies are mastering AI skills with the Workplace AI Institute

Courts are already sanctioning lawyers for AI mistakes. Know the tools before the tools cost you.

Most attorneys know AI is reshaping legal work. Fewer know how to use it well. Right now, most legal professionals report using AI in some form, but adoption at law firms sits closer to a meaningful share. People are experimenting on their own, often without training, guardrails, or a real understanding of what can go wrong. And courts have seen fake AI-generated citations jump from 120 to over 660 cases in a single year, with some judges issuing sanctions above $100,000.

The real risk isn't AI itself. It's using AI without knowing how to verify, supervise, and apply it properly. This course covers legal research, contract drafting, document review, client communication, and practice management with real prompts, ethical frameworks, and hands-on exercises built for practicing attorneys. Solo practitioners and lawyers in larger firms both get the practical training that keeps you competitive without putting your license on the line.
