Generative AI is reinventing legal education and practice! It’s a big statement but as the events and resources on this page demonstrate, there’s a lot of evidence to support it.

The Centre for Legal Innovation (CLI) launched its Generative AI in Legal Practice Initiative to create a platform for local and global discussions, discourse, and debate on the application of generative AI in all facets of legal practice and, consequently, legal education too.

The Initiative has three parts:

1. Roundtables from March – May 2023 with lawyers (private, corporate and government), allied legal professionals, legal educators (academics, pracademics and clinicians), law students, access to justice professionals, and regulators, across the legal ecosystem. You’ll find the links to the CLI blog posts summarising key takeaways in the table below.
2. The Generative AI in Legal Practice Summit on 24-25 October 2023. The Summit will feature presenters and panellists from all stakeholder groups, comparing and contrasting the progress made in Australia and worldwide. Participants can register now for updates and information here. They can also suggest topics, contribute to the Summit, or recommend someone else by completing the relevant sections of the form.
3. A CLI Research Fellowship in Emerging Technologies for Australian residents who can work as independent contractors.
4. A Legal Generative AI LinkedIn Group (public and listed): a learning community for everyone in the legal ecosystem to access relevant, curated content and immediately connect with people everywhere.

You’ll find all of the Initiative events and resources on the CLI website but, we’ve also collected them together here

We welcome your feedback on the Initiative, your case studies and examples so, if you would like to share these, please contact us – we can’t wait to hear from you: CLI@collaw.edu.au.
