SUMMARY:AI Verification for Legal Work
DESCRIPTION:Course Materials: Most live webinars include the ability to ask questions during the webinar about the topic\, view slides of the presentation and have access to a recording of the webinar. \n\nDescription: AI can produce plausible content while also generating inaccurate sources\, citations\, quotes\, or procedural details.

This session is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. \nDisclaimer: NALA recognizes this course as non-substantive CLE. However\, if your state requires technology CLE\, we can adjust this course to reflect technology CLE upon request. Please contact us at elearning@nala.org to request an update for your CLE requirements.

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. Now AI contract tools promise to cut that time dramatically.

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. Build your skills – register today! \nSee where AI tools fit across the contract lifecycle\, from intake to repository management.\nRun a faster\, more consistent first-pass contract review using AI-assisted clause extraction and risk-flagging.\nUse AI to generate first-draft language and redlines while maintaining a clean\, defensible audit trail.\nProtect client confidentiality and catch AI errors before they reach the attorney or client. \n  \nCLE Hours = 1 Technology

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.
