Learn to effectively delegate tasks to AI, manage your time better, and avoid inappropriate automation in legal practice through strategic AI implementation.
This course, the third in the "AI for Lawyers and Other Advocates" specialization, focuses on leveraging artificial intelligence to improve productivity and time management in legal practice. Participants learn how to navigate the "AI Delegation Matrix" to identify which tasks are appropriate to delegate to AI tools and which require human attention and judgment. The program introduces strategies for spotting "Low-Hanging AI Fruit" - routine tasks that can be easily and safely automated - while providing frameworks to avoid "delegation remorse" from inappropriately outsourcing critical responsibilities. Through practical examples and ethical considerations, students develop a nuanced understanding of AI's role in legal practice, balancing efficiency gains with professional responsibility and judgment.

Students explore practical applications like using AI to prepare for difficult conversations, getting feedback on legal documents, and automating routine tasks. The second module, "A New World", examines the ethical considerations and potential consequences of over-delegation to AI systems. It introduces the concept of "delegation remorse" and discusses the appropriate boundaries for AI use in legal practice, with reference to professional ethics standards and the dangers of automating tasks that require human judgment.
