Using Chat GPT in Criminal Cases - Innovative AI Solutions for Lawyers [AI Bootcamp]
Want a motion written in plain language but grounded in Tennessee case law? Need a summary of Fourth Amendment jurisprudence with primary and secondary citations? This is where you learn how to get that—on demand, and with far less editing.
If you’re using AI tools like ChatGPT but still getting vague, generic answers, it’s time to level up your Prompt Engineering skills with AI tools. This training is designed specifically for attorneys—busy professionals who need fast, accurate, and case-relevant AI support. Whether you’re drafting motions, brainstorming legal strategy, summarizing complex case law, or preparing cross-examinations, the quality of your AI output comes down to one thing: how you ask for it.
In this 1-hour session, you'll learn how to write prompts that function like a program—clear, precise instructions in plain English that tell the AI exactly what you need. We’ll walk you through four key types of prompts, starting with the instinctual one-liners most people use, and building toward structured, repeatable “pattern prompts” tailored for recurring legal tasks. You’ll discover how to create what we call “root prompts”—instructions that set guardrails for every response, from tone and format to citation style and jurisdictional focus.
Prompt engineering gives you a strategic edge. It helps you work faster, think through legal issues more thoroughly, and produce better work product with less effort. If you're asking AI to assist in high-stakes criminal defense, this training will show you how to make it a powerful, reliable part of your team.
