ChatGPT for Lawyers and Legal Professionals begins with the foundations of generative AI in legal practice, including what the technology can do, where it can fail, and how legal professionals should think about risk. Students examine professional responsibility, confidentiality, and the continuing need for human supervision before moving into hands-on prompting techniques.

The course then develops practical AI workflows for legal research, drafting, analysis, client communication, and law practice operations with Professor Mark Davis. Students learn how to use ChatGPT to summarize cases, statutes, regulations, and secondary sources, support issue spotting, draft legal memos and brief sections, improve clarity and persuasion, and prepare plain-English client updates.

Additional lessons cover transactional Law workflows such as contract drafting, clause improvement, contract review, risk flags, and negotiation preparation. Litigation-focused modules address timelines, deposition prep, discovery organization, and internal analysis, while practice application lessons show how AI can support compliance monitoring, billing narratives, checklists, prompt libraries, knowledge management, and firm-wide adoption.

By the end of the course, students will understand how to integrate ChatGPT into a Law practice with disciplined prompts, careful review, and reliable verification methods. They will leave with a practical framework for using AI as a supervised assistant that improves legal work product, communication, and operations while preserving the judgment that legal clients depend on.
