AI Fluency for Legal Work

A useful result, one step at a time

Learn how to give an AI assistant a clear brief, work from documents, check the result and keep control of the next action. Each module follows Learn → Practise → Check, with an example, feedback and a small workbook response.

The eight-hour budget includes orientation, practice and the final task. It is an untested estimate, not a deadline. Spread the work over roughly four weeks or extend the calendar. Writing a 30-day plan is included; carrying it out is additional.

1. 01Meet your AI assistantChoose a low-risk task and produce a checked action note without treating generated text as evidence.40 min
2. 02Work safely from the startMake and explain an input-permission and review decision, including when to stop or escalate.40 min
3. 03Ask clearly; improve the answerWrite and revise a bounded prompt using a task, relevant material, a useful format and reviewable constraints.40 min
4. 04Read documents with evidenceBuild a short extraction table with source locations, versions and uncertainty, and independently check material fields.40 min
5. 05Research you can checkPractise the verification method and accurately distinguish method-only work, self-reported actual inspection and a named reviewed observation.40 min
6. 06Draft, compare and communicatePrepare a source-grounded draft and comparison, verify a calculation and retain human approval of the final communication.40 min
7. 07Reuse good workCreate and test a portable workflow card and distinguish it from memory, a project, a template or an installed skill.40 min
8. 08Connect tools without losing controlExplain a plugin or connector's access and action scope and stop an instruction embedded in untrusted source material.40 min
9. 09Build a small reliable workflowDesign and test a bounded workflow with evidence checks, stop conditions and a named approval owner.40 min
10. 10Make it part of your practiceChoose a useful recurring task, plan support and measurement, and translate the method into an optional approved Esheria workflow.40 min

Record what you actually practised

Simulation supports understanding of the method. An actual source inspection, live prompt, installed skill or connected read has its own evidence record. Your own report stays self-reported; a reviewed observation additionally needs a named reviewer, date and feedback.

A05-S1 provides a bounded actual statutory inspection. An access gap does not establish that inspection. A quiz score or this reader cannot certify an observed capability.
