Overview

Discover What You're Missing Out On

AI can do a lot more than draft an email or summarize a document—but are you using the right tools and taking advantage of what they can actually do?

This practical CLE cuts through the crowded AI landscape to show you what’s currently out there, what’s worth using, and which powerful features you may be missing. Compare leading AI platforms. Explore capabilities hiding beyond the basic chat box. See what AI can do for legal research, drafting, Microsoft Office, contracts, and litigation—and discover the tools that do it best. Finally, learn how to spot security, confidentiality, and contract risks before trusting a new AI vendor with firm or client information.

Stop scratching the surface of AI. Find the right tools, uncover the features you should be using, and put more of AI's capabilities to work in your practice. Register today!

  • Cut through AI overload and identify which general-purpose and legal-specific tools are worth your attention and money.
  • Uncover powerful AI features you may already have access to—but aren't using.
  • Take legal research beyond basic case searches with deeper analysis, verification, and research agents.
  • Draft, redline, compare, and revise documents faster with AI and Word-native legal tools.
  • Spot the AI contract provisions that can expose your firm and clients to unnecessary risk.
