Verify research properly before it leaves your desk

Know what should never go into a public AI tool

Recognize the calls that need a professional, not a tool

What's inside

Five one-page checklists, drawn from a course built for working legal professionals. Working with AI tools in practice. Verifying research before it leaves your desk. What not to submit to a public AI tool. The Rule 1.1 and 5.3 obligations in plain terms. And how to recognize a judgment call that belongs to a person rather than a tool. Each one is a page you can print and keep beside you — not something to read once and file.

SAMIR ALI, J.D.

I hold a J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law and spent seventeen years in immigration law, including founding and running my own practice. I have taught legal research and writing, legal office technology, and e-discovery in an undergraduate paralegal studies program. This guide is the short version of what I teach: the guidance available on AI in legal work tends to be either breathless or alarmed, and neither one helps you decide what to do on a Tuesday afternoon with a deadline.
