Overview
Ready or Not, AI Is Part of the Conversation
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of the modern legal workplace, yet many attorneys remain uncertain about how AI tools can be used responsibly, securely, and effectively in legal practice.
AI Without the Learning Curve
This entry-level CLE program provides a practical introduction to Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft’s AI assistant embedded directly into familiar applications such as Word, Outlook, Teams, and PowerPoint. Learn how Copilot can assist with meeting summaries, document creation, and review, helping you work more efficiently without replacing legal judgment or ethical obligations.
Learn It. Try It. Hear the Questions.
The first half of the program focuses on practical instruction and hands-on exercises you can complete right from your computer. You won’t be watching teacher-led demonstrations—instead, you’ll have the opportunity to work through the exercises yourself and put the concepts into practice.
Then, the format shifts. The entire second half is devoted to Q&A from the live program, covering practical questions and real-world issues raised by participants. It’s a chance to benefit from the questions others asked—and the answers you may have been wondering about, too.
Learning Objectives

• Understand how Microsoft 365 Copilot works within common legal workflows
