Course overview

🆕 Updated course: Advanced AI Prompting for In-House Legal Teams.


Co-taught by a 3x General Counsel and the CTO and Co-founder of GC AI, this class delves deeper into practical applications and techniques of AI prompting using GC AI*—a legal-centric LLM.



Great for folks who have completed Level 101 or otherwise already familiar with AI 


Topics include: 


* Deepening your understanding of LLMs and GPT 


* Learning and practicing proven prompting methods and more advanced techniques for legal use cases 


* Creating a custom prompt library you can use again and again 



*Note: We 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.


Who is this course for?

01

Lawyers & legal team members who already use AI and know they could be getting more out of it.

02

Legal AI users are frustrated that their tools aren't giving them what they want.

03

Product counsel or other lawyers who advise AI teams.

        YOU ARE MY HERO OF THE DAY! Not only did you hold my hand to lead me into the dark water to teach me how to use that daunting platform, but you also equipped me with keys to make it work. I’m getting crushed under the weight of a huge and time-sensitive project and was just now able to use ChatGPT to help me draft a key guidance piece. THANK YOU."
