Learn to use AI without risking client confidentiality or your credibility.
In-person training for lawyers, paralegals, legal secretaries, court staff and law enforcement. We start where you are, whether that is “I have no idea” or “I already use it daily.”
Answer a short set of questions about the tools you use, what you can do, and what you want AI to do for you. About 15 minutes.
Your answers place you in a beginner, intermediate or advanced group, so nobody is bored and nobody is lost.
Hands-on sessions of 1 to 2 hours for up to two people, at your firm or at my office, using your materials or mine. Learn more.
Not a test. It’s a skills inventory so we can place you in the right training group.
These are the kinds of work AI can help with in a law practice, drawn from what I do every day. AI assists; a lawyer reviews and verifies everything.
AI is a fast assistant and an unreliable authority. You will learn to keep the speed and lose the risk, with a review habit you can use on every filing.
Check every case, quote and statute against the primary source before it goes in a filing, and learn the warning signs of an invented case or a misquoted holding.
Ground the AI in your own file, make it point to the page for every fact, and recognize when it is filling a gap with a guess.
Know what is safe to put into which tool, and the settings and habits that keep client information protected.
AI drafts. You verify. You sign.
The assessment takes about 15 minutes. When you finish, you’ll download a PDF of your answers and can email it straight to us.

You own a legal firearm. You have a concealed handgun permit. You stop at a restaurant bar for dinner with friends. Can you bring your gun inside? The answer is more complicated than yes or no. Louisiana law draws a sharp line between where you can carry a firearm and where you cannot. That line…
