Additionally, this course will examine Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) generally and teach students certain ways that AI is used in the practice of law.
After teaching students all these skills, this course will teach students how to connect these skills to automate the creation of large portions of legal documents.
Throughout this course, students will use practice management software (CLIO) to record, track, organize, and submit their work. By doing so, students will learn how to use this type of software to manage a law practice.
