In this masterclass, we explore how AI is already shaping legal work, how firms are approaching new technologies and what students need to know to stay competitive.
Presentations by The University of Law associate professor of legal technology Patrick Grant and careers manager Amy Walker break down:
- AI in the legal profession (reality check): what AI can and can’t realistically do, how it’s actually affecting legal roles and why law firms still value human judgement and critical thinking; and - AI in applications and recruitment: how to use AI to support your applications without harming your chances of success, where candidates go wrong and what ethical, best-practice use looks like to recruiters.
Followed by a panel discussion with:
- Samantha Hope – senior emerging talent manager, Shoosmiths - Alice Mackereth – trainee solicitor, Michelmores (on secondment in the AI project team) - Amy Walker – careers manager, The University of Law
