Responsible AI for Legal Professionals

What's inside

1. Level 1: What AI Can and Cannot Do in Legal WorkFree
   Learn what generative AI assistants actually do (predict plausible text) and see dated evidence of how UK firms, chambers and in-house teams use them, framed as general information rather than legal advice.
2. Level 2: Approved Tools and Your Workplace AI PolicyFree
   Learn to find, read and apply your organisation's AI policy, and to tell an approved enterprise tool apart from a free consumer account before using either for work.
3. Level 3: UK GDPR and What Never Goes Into a Tool
   Apply UK GDPR principles and your data processing obligations to AI use, and build a personal 'never paste' list for client and personal data.
4. Level 4: Confidentiality and Legal Professional Privilege
   Understand how putting information into an AI tool can put client confidentiality and privilege at risk, and use safe-handling rules that protect both.
5. Level 5: AI-Assisted Legal Research: Workflow and Limits
   Learn a structured workflow for using AI to scope research questions and find search terms, while recognising that general assistants are not authoritative legal databases.
6. Level 6: Fake Citations in Court: Real Reported Cases
   Study reported UK rulings on fictitious authorities, including the Divisional Court's June 2025 judgment in Ayinde v Haringey and Al-Haroun v Qatar National Bank, and the consequences that followed.
7. Level 7: Verifying Every Authority Against the Primary Source
   Use a repeatable verification procedure that checks every case, statute and quotation against official or reputable legal sources before it reaches a document or the court.
8. Level 8: Regulator and Judicial Guidance on AI
   Compare what the SRA, the BSB and Bar Council, CILEx Regulation and the October 2025 judicial guidance say about AI use, and apply those principles to your own role.
9. Level 9: Drafting First Versions with AI
   Use AI to produce structured first drafts of routine legal documents from safe, anonymised instructions, and check them clause by clause.
10. Level 10: Redlining and Reviewing Contracts with AI
    Apply AI to compare versions, flag deviations from a playbook and suggest amendments, while keeping the negotiation judgement with a human.
11. Level 11: Summarising Documents and Bundles
    Learn to produce accurate summaries, chronologies and issue lists from long documents and bundles, and how to spot omissions and distortions.
12. Level 12: Document Review and Disclosure in Outline
    Understand at an outline level how technology-assisted review supports disclosure, and where human review, privilege calls and validation remain essential.
13. Level 13: Plain-English Client Letters
    Use AI to turn technical legal analysis into clear, accurate, plain-English client communications without losing nuance or confidentiality.
14. Level 14: Specialist Legal AI Tools vs General Assistants
    Compare specialist legal AI platforms with general assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Microsoft 365 Copilot on sources, security, cost and fit for task.
15. Level 15: AI for Knowledge Management
    Use AI to organise precedents, know-how and internal guidance so that teams can find and reuse knowledge safely.
16. Level 16: Checking Accuracy, Bias and Made-Up Facts
    Apply a systematic quality check to any AI output to catch factual errors, invented details, hidden bias and overconfident language.
17. Level 17: Competence, Supervision and Honesty About AI
    Meet your duties of competence and supervision when you or junior colleagues use AI, and decide when and how to tell clients, colleagues or the court about AI use.
18. Level 18: Using AI to Deepen Your Own Expertise
    Use AI as a study partner to test your understanding, rehearse arguments and find gaps in your knowledge, so your own judgement grows rather than weakens.
19. Level 19: AI Conversations at Work and the Changing Role
    Learn to raise AI adoption constructively with managers and colleagues, and weigh how legal roles may change over the next few years, stating the uncertainty honestly.
20. Level 20: Final Challenge and Your 30-Day AI Plan Exam
    Bring the whole course together in a realistic end-to-end scenario covering tool choice, confidentiality, research verification, drafting, review, client communication and professional duties, then build a personal 30-day plan.
