For law firms and legal teams
When someone asks how your firm uses AI, have an answer your whole team follows
Your lawyers and staff are already using AI, some openly and some quietly. I train your whole team on the tools you’ve approved, set who checks what before anything reaches a client or a court, and leave you with those rules in writing. We practice on made-up matters, so nobody has to guess what’s safe to share.
Where most firms are right now
Someone on your team asks an AI tool to draft a client update. It’s ready in two minutes, and it reads well. It also promises a deadline nobody agreed to, and the draft looks finished enough that it almost goes out.
Most firms have a mix of people right now. Some use AI quietly, some won’t touch it, and whoever supervises the work may not know which drafts had help. Checking takes longer than it should, because nobody agreed on what to check.
A policy isn’t the same as a team that follows it
A written AI policy doesn’t settle the daily questions. Which tool can be used on which work? Who checks the result before it goes out? On July 1, 2026, after a brief in one of its cases cited cases that didn’t exist, Delaware’s Court of Chancery ordered the law firm to describe its written AI policies, how it shared them with its lawyers, and the training and safeguards behind them.
“Because this incident may implicate the firm’s training, supervision, and deployment of GenAI, the firm must answer alongside the individual signatory.”
Until those questions have answers, AI often costs your team time instead of saving it. Drafts get rewritten, the same work gets checked twice, and the review can take longer than doing the task by hand.
What your team will be able to do
- Pick one recurring task and decide which parts AI can prepare and which parts stay with a person.
- Know what can and can’t go into an AI tool at your firm, and where to ask when they’re not sure.
- Check an AI draft line by line: every name, date, figure, and citation they didn’t supply themselves.
- Name who signs off before anything AI helped with goes to a client or a court.

How the training works
Usually two half-day sessions, a week or two apart. If one full day is easier for your firm to schedule, we can do it that way.
Part one · half day
First session
I show the workflow on my screen with a made-up matter, then everyone practices it.
Part two · your own work
Between sessions
People try it on their own work, inside your firm’s rules.
Part three · half day
Second session
They bring back what went wrong. We fix it together and write down the working rules for that workflow.
Participants practice in the AI tools your firm has already approved. If you haven’t approved any yet, I demonstrate, and we talk through what your firm needs to decide before anyone uses AI on client work.
Client information and judgment
Everything in the sessions uses made-up matters and made-up clients. Booking the training doesn’t approve using real client data. Your firm makes that decision separately, for each tool and each workflow. I teach your team to work inside those rules and to review every AI draft before it’s relied on.
This is training and policy design. It isn’t legal advice, and it doesn’t create an attorney-client relationship. Your firm’s lawyers and counsel have the final word on your obligations.
Who’s teaching
I’m Dr. Monica Rysavy. I’ve spent more than twenty years getting people to try new tools and keep using them. I started as a high school teacher, moved into higher education, and then became COO of an online education company. I hold a J.D. with a focus in intellectual property, a Ph.D. in learning design, and an Ed.D. in leadership. I use AI every day to run my own company, and I train client teams to do the same.

Questions you might have
Do you work with firms of any size?
The training works best for a group of about 5 to 20 people. For a larger firm, we usually start with one practice group.
Can you customize it for our practice area?
Yes. Before the first session, I ask what your team does every week, and I build the made-up matters around that work.
What about confidential information?
None of your firm’s or clients’ information is used in the sessions. When people practice on their own work between sessions, they follow your firm’s rules for approved tools.
Can our lawyers get CLE credit?
Each state approves CLE for the lawyers it licenses, so it depends on where your lawyers practice. If credit matters to your firm, tell me when you reach out, and we’ll look at what approval takes in your state before we set a date.
We’re organizing a program for a bar association or legal group. Can you speak or run a workshop?
Yes. Use the same form, choose “I’m organizing a program,” and tell me about your audience.
