SUMMARY:AI-Powered Contract Management for Paralegals
DESCRIPTION:Contract management has always eaten more paralegal hours than any other task: combing through redlines\, hunting for missing terms\, and cross-checking every clause against the firm’s playbook.

This 60-minute program gives you a practical\, hands-on orientation to AI in contract management. Learn how to run a faster first-pass review using AI-assisted clause extraction and risk-flagging\, how to use AI to accelerate drafting and redlining while keeping a clean audit trail\, and how to catch AI errors before they go out the door.

SUMMARY:A Practical Guide to Claude for Paralegals
DESCRIPTION:Paralegals are doing more with less. The caseload grows\, deadlines do not move\, and the expectation to keep pace – accurately\, efficiently\, and within your authorized scope – has never been higher. AI could help.
