Course Syllabus
Important: not professional advice
This course teaches how to use AI tools in legal work; it is not legal advice and does not substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer. The certificate confirms lesson completion and a passed exam only — it does not confer a legal qualification, a right to practise law, or recognition by any bar, law society, or legal regulator.
