As legal writers, we might feel like we’re suddenly expected to generate all our written work at the speed of light. Instead of succumbing to feeling dazzled, dizzied, or disoriented by GenAI’s lightning-fast output, let’s give ourselves permission to decelerate before accelerating our lawyering workflow. This workshop will explore how to start basic and gently introduce ourselves to GenAI through the skill of “prompt engineering.” In any new relationship, and certainly in the legal profession, it takes time to learn how to best communicate. By practicing communicating with GenAI chatbots through questions and instructions—like a Socratic dialogue—we’ll get better at understanding how our input drives the quality of GenAI’s output. Ultimately, through experimenting with different prompt engineering techniques, we will feel more empowered to design a methodical step-by-step process for using GenAI tools to generate high-quality legal writing and documents.

REGISTER NOW
This program is approved for both newly admitted and experienced attorneys and upon completion will receive 1.5 New York Skills credit.
