AI for Barristers: Practical Applications
AI tools for submissions, hearings, and daily practice.
This workshop is designed specifically for barristers who want to understand how general-purpose AI tools can fit into their practice. We focus on Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini rather than legal-specific platforms — the skills transfer, and these tools are more flexible across the full range of work barristers do.
How the session works
The session is hands-on. You will have your laptop open, working alongside us.
- How these tools actually work
Fifteen minutes on what they do reliably, where they go wrong, and why.
- Working through practical tasks
You will choose from structuring submissions, drafting correspondence, preparing for hearings, explaining complex concepts to lay clients, and proofreading your own work.
- Risk discussion
Confidentiality, accuracy, professional obligations — which concerns are overblown and what practical safeguards make sense.
Who this is for
Practising barristers at any level of AI experience. No prior use of AI tools is assumed.
