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, AI outperforms for contract reviews 77x faster at 0.03% the price of humans. But the absolute best legal AI? It works with you, the lawyer. Once you know the basics and how to prompt, you'll wish you'd had AI for legal work for years. This course will give you practical, immediately useful learnings on actual AI prompting with GC AI or general purpose tools like ChatGPT or Claude. You'll get a great intro to how AI works. Then get your hands dirty with an experienced GC and AI expert to help and push you with tips and tricks. I promise: you'll be shocked at the quality of AI legal outputs. Note: I teach this class on GC AI (getgc.ai) and give a free trial to the tool for class takers because it's the best AI copilot for lawyers. You *can* get good results with general purpose, non-legal AI tools like Microsoft Copilot, it's just more work and harder. Kind of like shooting in RAW on a digital camera versus using an iPhone.
