Building Your Own AI Workflows for Legal Practice

A prompt is a favour. A workflow is an asset. This course is for Philippine lawyers, paralegals and law students who already get useful drafts out of an AI assistant, and who re-explain their house style, their formats and their constraints to it every single morning because it has forgotten all of them. You will climb four levels. The prompt: one request drafted like a brief, in five parts, worked through on a complaint-affidavit for estafa. The workflow: the same sequence run again and again, shown on a lease drafted in four turns, a clause read from both chairs, and a judicial affidavit read the way opposing counsel reads it. The instruction file: the workflow written down once and loaded automatically, including how to write the description that makes it fire and the three ways it fails. The system: connectors, and a practice management system built by a lawyer with AI writing most of the code. Then the guardrails that apply at every level: confidentiality and where your data goes, the kinds of hallucination and how to check each, and the duties of competence and candour that no file can carry for you. The course ends with a workshop in which you build, test and break an instruction file of your own, and have it reviewed by classmates. Every example comes from live matters and real systems at a Makati full-service firm, with names and details anonymised. No technical background is needed. This is course material, not legal advice; your obligations under the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability are yours to confirm against its current text.
