The prompt engineering course "introduces lawyers and legal professionals to the fundamentals of careful prompt engineering as an effective method for generating responsive, high-quality legal content using generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) models — ethically and responsibly," according to the press release.

Keith Heddle, managing director of Mackrell International, told Legaltech News that there has been high interest in AI among network members in recent months, with attorneys eager to learn more, despite a natural sense of skepticism. "One of the things I'm always looking to do is add value to the lawyers, to the firms' customer network," Heddle said. "And training and the development of the next generation is absolutely fundamental for profitability, for growth, for strategy, for everything."
