AI provides us with a superhuman ability to overcome writer’s block, make our sentences smoother, check for consistency, test our logic, and spot ambiguity. However, due to the specialized nature of legal communication, when we use AI ineffectively, it will have the reverse outcome—making our writing slower.
During this session, we will comb through the prompting techniques (i.e., the instructions you give to AI) that will ensure you are harnessing AI’s power in a way that speeds up your writing rather than holds it back. A prime example of when AI can slow you down is when you ask it to make a document more concise (such as a brief or a letter to a client). This request for concision often backfires because AI tends to strip away the subtlety that was important to you but undetectable to “the robot.”
By attending this webinar, you will acquire tools to accelerate your writing, without having to adjust your natural style.
Key Takeaways:
After attending this webinar, you will be able to:
• use AI to speed up your writing, while recognizing when it can slow you down;
• craft precise prompts to instruct AI to assist with your writing as efficiently as possible; and
• rely on AI to help you identify typos, weak arguments, and ambiguity.
Who Should Attend?
This webinar is intended for legal professionals who already consider themselves to be proficient writers. The session is not for individuals who wish to offload their thinking to AI.
The goal of this session is to help you speed up your existing process of drafting. While you might notice small improvements in the quality of your writing, your primary gains will be in the area of efficiency. This session will help you overcome writer’s block, quickly produce a first draft, and edit the draft for mistakes and logical gaps.
