Of particular interest to law students preparing for summer jobs might be Artificial Intelligence in Law Practice for Summer Associates and Interns, presented by Professor Daniel W. Linna Jr. of Northwestern. The presentation includes a nice breakdown of the different forms that AI can take in legal practice technologies, with a special focus on the strengths and limitations of the latest generative AI tools.

  • Identify the types of AI tools used for legal tasks

  • Know the questions to ask before using an AI tool
