Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and generative technologies are revolutionizing the legal sector, offering new ways to conduct legal research, draft documents, analyze cases, and even assist in judicial decision-making. From predictive analytics and case outcome forecasting to AI-assisted drafting of judgments, these tools promise greater efficiency, accuracy, and access to justice. However, their adoption also raises critical questions about ethics, transparency, bias, and the balance between human judgment and machine assistance.
This 5-day intensive training program provides legal professionals, court officers, and justice sector stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of how AI and generative technologies are shaping modern legal practice. Participants will explore both the opportunities and challenges, examine real-world use cases, and learn how to responsibly integrate AI into legal workflows while ensuring compliance with legal ethics and procedural fairness.
Participants who successfully complete the course will receive Certificate of Participation.
