About the session
Use AI like a senior lawyer.
This live workshop is designed for legal professionals who want to move beyond vague, generic AI output and start using structured prompting to produce work that is accurate, jurisdictionally grounded, and ready to redline.
Delivered by Prof. Alexiei Dingli of Digital Brain Ltd, the session covers how large language models actually work, why most AI output is mediocre (and how to fix it), and the safe, ethical use of AI in legal practice.
You will leave with two proven prompt frameworks (CARE and LEGAL), eight hands-on exercises drawn from real legal scenarios, and a seven-point quality control checklist you can use from day one.
What You Need to Join
No AI experience needed No coding or technical background required Suitable for all practice areas
Whether you have never used an AI tool or use one daily, this workshop meets you where you are. All you need is a device, a browser, and an openness to testing assumptions. Access to ChatGPT (free tier is fine for the session) is helpful but not required.
Who is this Workshop For
Built for legal professionals at every level of AI experience.
The Skeptic
Thinks AI is overhyped and hasn't earned its place in serious legal work. This session will test that assumption.
The Curious
Has tried AI once or twice and is open to a more structured second look.
The Tinkerer
Uses AI weekly for drafting and quick research, and wants to sharpen technique.
What You Will Leave With
Practical skills you can apply the same day
02
Eight live exercises
Practice clause drafting, contract review, case summarisation, adversarial prompting, plain English client comms, and citation verification.
03
Safe AI habits
Know exactly what you can and cannot paste into a public AI tool, and how to pseudonymise client data without losing analytical value.
04
A quality control checklist
A seven-point sign-off process to treat every AI output as a draft from a junior before it leaves the firm.
05
Understanding of AI risk
Learn from real cases (Mata v. Avianca and Ayinde v Haringey LBC) where failure to verify led to sanctions and referrals.
06
Firm-level confidence
Understand tool tiers, data retention, GDPR implications, and the EU AI Act's Article 4 literacy obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any AI experience?
No. The session is designed for all experience levels, from skeptics to daily users. The exercises are structured so everyone can participate.
Will I need to pay for any tools?
No. All tools demonstrated are accessible on free tiers. Enterprise tier options are discussed but not required for the workshop itself.
Is this relevant to my area of law?
Yes. The exercises cover M&A drafting, contract review, litigation analysis, client communications, and regulatory work, with examples grounded in Maltese and English law.
Will I be able to apply this immediately?
Yes. You will leave with two prompt frameworks, eight tested prompt templates, and a QC checklist ready to use the same day.
What about confidentiality - can I use client data?
This is addressed directly in the workshop. You will learn exactly how to work safely with client-sensitive material, including pseudonymisation techniques that preserve analytical value without exposing identifiable information.
