Course syllabus
Key Themes Covered:
Problem First, Solution Second
Technology procurement should always be problem-led rather than technology-led. Instead of asking, “Which AI tool should I use?”, a more effective approach is, “What is holding me back in my legal practice, and what is the best way to address it?” This section will explore how to identify genuine problems and analyse case studies where technology was not necessarily the right solution.
Maximising Existing Technology
Many legal professionals already have access to powerful tools within the MS365 suite, yet they are often underutilised. This section will cover practical applications of Word’s mail merge, Excel’s basic data analysis features, and Forms’ simple data collection functionality – all of which can streamline workflows and improve efficiency.
Generalist Tools Can Be Effective
Industry-specific legal technology can be costly. Fortunately, there are many affordable or free generalist tools that can address common challenges in legal practice. We will examine case studies featuring Airtable, Canva, and AI-driven tools like ChatGPT, demonstrating their usefulness in a legal context.
Smart Technology Procurement
Understanding key technology concepts is crucial for making informed decisions. This section will demystify terms such as SaaS, cloud computing, server hosting, and data security, ensuring legal professionals can assess risks and maintain compliance when handling client data.
