Sample Clip from Course

Trusted by major firms across the country.
Building on the technical focus of its Fundamentals of Prompt Engineering for Lawyers course, AltaClaro’s supervisory course focuses on higher-level leadership and management training.
This first-of-its-kind training program was developed in collaboration with global law firm K&L Gates. The program is specifically designed to equip partners and managers in law firms and in-house legal departments with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively oversee the use of Generative AI (GenAI) by their teams–including leading-edge guidance for complying with the ABA’s recent formal opinion on the ethical use of GenAI.
Included in those rules are a Duty of Competence, which emphasizes the need for lawyers to stay abreast of technological advancements, and a Duty to Supervise, which outlines professional conduct standards expected in AI supervision. This program helps attorneys and firms fulfill their professional and ethical obligations.

Anatomy of AltaClaro's Simulations: Optimized for Critical Thinking

  • Real-Life Application: Each AltaClaro course integrates real-world assignments, allowing associates to immediately apply course lessons to actual client scenarios.
  • Puzzle-Solving Experience:  Assignments present "messy" fact patterns, mirroring real-life scenarios. Associates must exercise critical thinking skills to identify issues, prioritize tasks, and devise solutions without a detailed checklist.
  • Client-Centric Approach: Associates consider the client's business posture and practical circumstances, addressing negotiation leverage, market conditions, and other factors to craft tailored solutions.
  • Questioning Imperfect Information: Assignments prompt junior associates to ask pertinent questions akin to real-life legal work. They learn to assess the relevance of precedent provisions, identify missing elements, and ensure comprehensive protection for the client.
  • Navigating Unfamiliar Waters: Some assignments intentionally diverge from course topics, challenging associates to analyze unfamiliar materials effectively. This cultivates adaptability and empowers them to apply learned concepts across various practical scenarios.

PRAISE FOR OUR COURSES

One of my favorite parts was definitely the live session. I think it's really helpful to have gone with a group of other people and see their mistakes and what they did because there are so many ways to do it. And there's a different order to go about doing different things that I would have not thought of. And also just seeing where everyone made similar mistakes as I did. It was reassuring.

The feedback was the most beneficial part of the entire training because it was immediate feedback throughout the assignment document that showed where you could improve. You may think you understand a concept, but don’t exactly understand the implications of it when you’re doing the simulation. The personalized feedback shows your areas of weakness so you can reach out and ask someone for help on how to improve in certain areas.
