Webinar: Better Judgment in the AI Era – May 21

On May 21, Thursday 11AM EST, 4PM UK, AltaClaro in partnership with Artificial Lawyer will be holding a lawyer education and training webinar on the subject of: ‘Better judgment in the AI era with simulations’. Guests include Kate Orr and Kelly Cullen from Orrick. The panel is moderated by AL’s founder.

It’s free to attend, but please RSVP for this key webinar about legal training in the AI era.

RSVP here to reserve your place.

Overview:

For decades, junior lawyers developed judgment by doing the early-stage work of practice, including drafting, reviewing, researching, negotiating, and learning through repetition. As AI reshapes those workflows, firms face a more urgent training question: if associates get fewer meaningful reps on real matters, how will they develop the judgment, instincts, and confidence that practice requires?

This panel will focus on practical strategies for solving that problem, including how one of the legal industry’s most innovative firms, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, is reinventing attorney development through deliberate practice, tech-enabled simulations, and hands-on training. Over the last six years, Orrick has significantly invested in its attorney training program, recently expanding its approach with AI-powered simulations that provide real-time feedback and help attorneys build better judgment skills on real matters. Those efforts include a first-of-a-kind AI training program focused on teaching the judgment skills lawyers need to use AI tools effectively and efficiently, as well as a unique technology transactions training program for all of its attorneys.

Attendees will learn how to design training that gives associates more practice, better feedback, and clearer opportunities to build judgment before client matters put those skills to the test. The session will offer a practical framework for using AI to strengthen lawyer development without weakening the critical thinking, strategic decision-making, adaptability, and communication skills lawyers need in practice.

You’ll learn how to:

• Preserve meaningful skill-building opportunities as routine work becomes automated
• Use simulations to develop judgment in realistic legal scenarios
• Design training that gives associates more deliberate, structured practice
• Leverage AI-enabled feedback to support more targeted coaching and mentoring
• Adopt AI in ways that strengthen, rather than weaken, the next generation of lawyers.
