Litera Webinar Examines How Law Schools and Firms Are Training Lawyers to Work With AI
A free webinar on May 26 will bring together legal educators and firm leaders to discuss how training programs are adapting as AI becomes standard in legal work. Speakers from Stanford Law School, Linklaters, and The University of Law will examine what skills matter most and how firms are preparing lawyers to practice with AI tools rather than simply alongside them.
The event, hosted by Litera in partnership with Artificial Lawyer, runs from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM EDT (4:30 PM BST). Registration is open through Litera's website.
The Gap Between School and Practice
Law students are experimenting with AI and legal technology in the classroom, but confidence in a classroom setting doesn't translate to competence on day one at a firm. As AI reshapes how legal work gets done, schools and employers face a basic question: are graduates prepared to practice with AI, or just aware it exists?
The webinar will explore how that gap is being closed. Panelists will discuss what skills firms prioritize as AI becomes embedded in daily work, how training programs are evolving, and what lawyers, business development teams, and clients need to know to work effectively with these tools.
What the Webinar Will Cover
- Which skills matter most as AI becomes embedded in everyday legal work
- How firms are training lawyers and teams to work alongside AI
- How AI is changing how new lawyers learn to practice
- What firms can do to bridge the gap between education and practice
