Practicing with Bots: Reimagining Legal Training and Careers in the Age of AI
Event Description
AI is quickly shifting from “nice to have” to a daily collaborator—changing how legal work gets done and, just as importantly, how lawyers are trained to do it well. As drafting, research, compliance monitoring, and knowledge management become increasingly AI-enabled, in-house teams and firms face new questions: What does “good judgment” look like in an AI-augmented workflow? How do you develop junior lawyers when the first draft (and sometimes the second) is machine-assisted? And how do you design career paths that reward higher-value thinking—not just output volume?
Join us on Monday, March 9 at 12:00 pm ET / 9:00 am PT as Ed Sohn (CPO & GC, Lumio), Angela Hsu (Partner, Seyfarth Shaw LLP), Pierce Kelaita (Research Scientist & Head of Architecture, Stanford Law School’s LIFT Lab), and John Lee (General Counsel, Ruli) explore how firms and in-house legal teams can prepare lawyers to practice with AI—not compete against it. This forward-looking conversation will focus on practical shifts in training models, junior development, and career progression, along with the governance and professional responsibility considerations legal leaders can’t ignore.
Key Takeaways:
- How AI is reshaping legal training—and what to update in onboarding, playbooks, and mentorship
- New expectations for junior lawyers (and new ways to evaluate growth beyond “hours” and “volume”)
- What “professional judgment” means when AI is embedded in daily workflows
- How in-house teams can build AI-enabled learning loops without compromising quality or privilege
- Career path implications: skills that will differentiate high performers in an AI-augmented legal org
- Practical guardrails for responsible use across drafting, research, and internal knowledge systems
Who Should Attend:
This program is designed for in-house legal professionals responsible for building and leading teams—especially GCs, Deputy/Assistant GCs, legal ops leaders, and practice-area leads who are rethinking how to train, develop, and retain talent as AI becomes part of everyday legal work. It will also be highly relevant for in-house counsel partnering closely with law firms and wanting a clearer point of view on how AI is changing associate development, work allocation, and quality control.
There is NO COST to attend this program!
