A Hands-On AI Learning Experience Built for Lawyers

The Connecticut Bar Association has partnered with LawQi to provide members with a comprehensive, interactive AI literacy and skill-building platform designed specifically for legal professionals. LawQi helps you build a practical understanding of generative AI, develop effective prompting and research skills, and explore how AI can be used responsibly in legal practice.

LawQi is not something you simply watch, it’s somewhere you practice. Through hands-on exercises, realistic legal scenarios, built-in prompts, and an AI-powered assistant, you can experiment with AI tools and develop skills you can apply to your work.

LawQi is  available to CBA members exclusively for the 2026–27 bar year. Take advantage of this member benefit while it’s available and start building practical AI skills today.

Build Practical AI Skills at Your Own Pace

LawQi is a self-guided course consisting of seven lessons, 21 modules, and 99 topics, with content updated quarterly. There is no required order, so you can start with the topics most relevant to your practice or begin with the introductory lesson.

The curriculum covers:

  1. LawQi Intro: The LawQi Approach · Gaining Document Processing Power · Building Custom Assistants
  2. Prompting, Context, and Model Strategy: Foundational Prompt Craft · Understanding Context Windows · Confidentiality and Data Governance
  3. Understanding Generative AI: How Generative AI Actually Works · Why AI Gets Things Wrong · Legal Practice Applications

  7. Professional Liability, Malpractice, and Insurance: Court Cases & Sanctions · Evolving Standards of Care · Coverage Gaps and Emerging Exclusions

Content is designed to move beyond basic AI concepts and address the practical, ethical, professional, and risk-management issues lawyers need to understand as AI continues to evolve. The curriculum also  emphasizes an important principle as AI becomes more capable: accountability remains with the human. LawQi addresses not only what AI can do, but also the judgment, supervision, verification, and professional responsibility required when using it.

Take the Welcome Quiz

You don't need to be an AI expert to get started. LawQi includes an optional welcome quiz designed to help you identify what you already understand about AI before beginning. Lesson 1 in the platform will instruct you on how to take the quiz.

You can also use LawQi's Personal Planner to identify what you want to accomplish with AI and where you are in your learning journey. It creates a personalized 30-objective plan in three stages that you can download and work through at your own pace.

LawQi is an educational platform designed for AI literacy and skill development. It is not a legal practice tool or a confidential environment.
