In-House Legal AI Masterclass
Curtis Batterton
Legal Ops Leader. AI Educator.
From AI-curious to AI-capable in 8 weeks.
In 8 weeks, legal support professionals go from AI-curious to AI-capable — able to draft, research, summarize, and manage matters using tools that are already reshaping what in-house legal teams can do with fewer resources.
Most in-house legal departments are running leaner than they were three years ago. Headcount is flat or shrinking. Outside counsel spend is under pressure. And AI tools are getting purchased — sometimes by the CIO, sometimes by the GC, sometimes by whoever had a compelling demo last quarter.
What's not happening: the people doing the daily work are being trained to use them.
Paralegals, legal assistants, and legal coordinators are watching AI reshape the work around them without a clear path to stay ahead of it. Not because they can't learn it — but because nobody has built a structured, practical program for their specific role, their specific workflows, and their specific legal department context.
That's what this course is.
This isn't AI theory. It's workflow-level skill building, built for the people who keep legal departments running.
