Specialty legal AI

Provided by the Law Library

We highly encourage you to complete the AI Essentials Training before requesting access. It is recommended, not required. The Hub’s Introduction to AI course is a more comprehensive alternative, so you do not need to complete both. Completing either one does not by itself turn on a tool or feature in your account; access still follows the request process below.
