Overview

This course introduces lawyers and other legal professionals to the fundamentals of careful prompt engineering as an effective method for generating responsive, high-quality legal content using generative AI models. Participants will learn the key elements of effective prompt engineering and how to apply these elements to any assignment using any generative AI platform in a manner that is safe, ethical, and consistent with professional standards. The course also helps participants recognize and mitigate the limitations and associated risks when using generative AI. Throughout the course, participants learn by working through concrete, practical examples.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Apply prompt engineering techniques to a variety of assigned tasks
Recognize the limitations and challenges associated with prompt engineering in legal practice
Develop strategies to mitigate the limitations of prompt engineering
Apply critical thinking skills to evaluate the output generated through prompt engineering

Simulation Exercise

Participants are presented with a software-development client considering entering into a joint venture with a potential partner. Participants are asked to prepare a comprehensive limited partnership agreement defining the roles, responsibilities, and financial obligations of the parties and incorporating key business terms, using generative AI to create the first draft.
