What's inside
Five modules, in the order they're meant to be read: fundamentals first, then obligations, then vendor scrutiny, then workflow, then the one area — trust money — where automation should never go all the way.
AI Fundamentals for Legal Practice
What large language models actually do under the hood; their characteristic failure modes — hallucination, staleness, and confident wrongness — and where they're reliable versus where they need a skeptical human reader.
Your Professional Obligations
LSO guidance translated into daily practice: competence, confidentiality, and supervision duties when a tool drafts for you, and when client consent considerations come into play.
Evaluating AI Vendors
The four questions that actually matter before you sign anything: training use, data retention, processing location, and what the AI can do without a lawyer's approval.
AI in the Daily Workflow
A practical map of intake, drafting, deadline tracking, and document review — where automation genuinely returns hours, and where a human has to stay in the loop.
Trust Accounting & Automation Safety
Why moving client trust money should never be a fully automatable action, and what "hard ceilings" mean in practice.
