Practising Law Institute
Artificial Intelligence in Law Practice for Summer Associates and Interns
Practising Law Institute is offering a free on-demand program on AI in law practice for summer associates and interns!
 
Daniel W. Linna Jr. (Northwestern Pritzker School of Law & McCormick School of Engineering) worked with PLI to develop this program to educate law students about the potential benefits and risks of using AI in law practice. In their internships and careers, law students will be expected to use AI responsibly and well. This program aims to equip law students to meet those expectations.

Who Should Attend
Law students who are preparing for their summer associateship or internship.
