What makes AltaClaro's training model different?

Unlike traditional passive learning, AltaClaro uses a learn-by-doing model. Participants complete practical exercises that simulate real-world legal work and receive personalized feedback from seasoned practitioners, bridging the gap between theory and practice.

Is it difficult to implement AltaClaro's training programs?

No--AltaClaro programs are turn-key. We work with your organization to determine the course schedule, then our learning success team takes on the administrative lift.

Who provides the feedback on assignments?

Our feedback is provided by a global network of distinguished practitioners, including current and former BigLaw partners and senior in-house counsel, who have deep, practical expertise in their subject areas.

Is this just watching pre-recorded videos?

No. While we use video for instruction, the core of our platform is interactive. The learning comes from completing hands-on assignments and receiving feedback on your work.

Are AltaClaro courses eligible for CLE credit?

Yes, many of our courses are eligible for Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit in multiple jurisdictions. Please see individual course pages for specific CLE information.

Does AltaClaro provide any data or feedback related to learner experience and performance?

Yes. Through our proprietary Benchmark360 product, we provide robust, data-driven feedback on learner performance at the individual and firm level, driving self-assessment, self-reflection, and actionable insights around mentoring opportunities.

Artificial Lawyer

Session time: 1 hour

For decades, junior lawyers developed judgment by doing the early-stage work of practice, including drafting, reviewing, researching, negotiating, and learning through repetition. As AI reshapes those workflows, firms face a more urgent training question: if associates get fewer meaningful reps on real matters, how will they develop the judgment, instincts, and confidence that practice requires?

This panel will focus on practical strategies for solving that problem, including how one of the legal industry’s most innovative firms, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, is reinventing attorney development through deliberate practice, tech-enabled simulations, and hands-on training. Over the last six years, Orrick has significantly invested in its attorney training program, recently expanding its approach with AI-powered simulations that provide real-time feedback and help attorneys build better judgment skills on real matters. Those efforts include a first-of-a-kind AI training program focused on teaching the judgment skills lawyers need to use AI tools effectively and efficiently, as well as a unique technology transactions training program for all of its attorneys.

Attendees will learn how to design training that gives associates more practice, better feedback, and clearer opportunities to build judgment before client matters put those skills to the test. The session will offer a practical framework for using AI to strengthen lawyer development without weakening the critical thinking, strategic decision-making, adaptability, and communication skills lawyers need in practice.

You’ll learn how to:

Preserve meaningful skill-building opportunities as routine work becomes automated
Use simulations to develop judgment in realistic legal scenarios
Design training that gives associates more deliberate, structured practice
Leverage AI-enabled feedback to support more targeted coaching and mentoring
Adopt AI in ways that strengthen, rather than weaken, the next generation of lawyers
