Description: AI can speed drafting and revision, but paralegals must use safeguards that protect confidentiality, accuracy, and professional judgment. This practical session explores how to identify information that should never be entered into public models, build source-grounded prompts, verify quotations, citations, and factual claims, and revise AI-assisted drafts for precision and tone. Attendees will leave with a repeatable human-review checklist for legal writing workflows. The program focuses on writing process and risk management, not legal advice.
