Course overview
OpenAI's GPT passes the NY bar exam at the 90th percentile. BCG consultants using ChatGPT finished 12% more tasks, 25.1% faster, at 40% higher quality. In closed tests, LLMs outperform human contract reviewers, 77x faster at 0.03% the price. In other words, AI is really good now.
But you how AI works best? With you, the in-house lawyer.
When prompted well, AI will make you and your legal team better, faster, and more effective. Once you know understand AI and how to prompt, you'll wish you'd had AI for your legal work for years.
"Gen AI & Prompting for In-House Lawyers" will give you a practical, transformative experience on actual AI prompting and legal tasks with AI. You'll get your hands dirty with the tool, with an experienced GC and AI expert there to help and push you with practical tips and tricks.
I promise: you'll be shocked at AI's legal outputs for you, day in, day out. You'll be using it for everything from answering Slacks, to drafting new form agreements, to policies and wikis, to ideating and brainstorming on gnarly judgement calls. You'll earn the coveted "lawyer who gets it" and "wow, you're fast" praise, while giving high quality legal advice you, your clients, your board, and your regulators can feel good about.

Get a clear overview from Cecilia of how generative AI and GPT work through examples, a clear metaphor, and enough technical info to make sense. We'll get into why and how crafting prompts with context will increase effectiveness and reduce hallucination.
We'll cover the "Company-Context-Task" method -- a clear, repeatable prompting framework that yields more comprehensive and tailored answers and work product for legal and compliance tasks. You'll get a main template and 3-4 templates by practice area.
You'll leave the class with a base prompts that work well for common in-house workflows. We'll go through specific samples by legal area of law (e.g. corporate, employment, privacy, and IP). Get templates you and anyone on your team can apply.
