Welcome to AI Law and Legal Training
AI Law and Legal Training is a collection of eight free courses funded by UKRI Responsible AI, and in partnership with Citizens Advice and academics at The Open University and the University of Lincoln.
The courses have been developed with support from lawyers at Fieldfisher, Mishcon de Reya and Browne Jacobson.
AI Law and Legal Training is designed to provide practical introductory training to support knowledge and understanding of the responsible and ethical use of Generative AI tools in advice and legal contexts.
These courses have been designed for members of the public, volunteers, advisers and managers in charities and free advice organisations, legal professionals and law students.
We have suggested pathways through the courses based on different roles and interests to guide learners through the most relevant content for their goals (these are shown in the table below).
We recommend that everyone starts with Course 1: Understanding Generative AI to get a better understanding of what it is and how it works, as this knowledge underpins the remaining course.
