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.

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.
- Ali Cervantes Solis, Member of Orrick's Summer Associate Class
