2025 Solo & Small Firm Conference - LLMs for Legal Tasks: Best Practices
Program sponsored by Oklahoma Attorneys Mutual Insurance Company
This program offers a practical and analytical exploration of best-practice strategies for integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into legal practice. Participants will learn how to mitigate common concerns such as inaccuracy and hallucinations, while leveraging LLMs’ potential to streamline legal tasks. The session emphasizes the importance of user-centered design—specifically UI/UX—in enabling lawyers to effectively "trust but verify" AI-generated outputs. Attendees will also examine how LLMs can support legal argumentation, jurisdictional comparisons, and more intuitive legal research, helping practitioners move beyond conventional tools and approaches.
