Smarter Practice. Smarter You.

"Members who have experienced the AI Academy during its beta phase have praised the practical benefits and law-based perspective, as they find themselves applying the lessons they've learned in their day-to-day practice almost immediately."

"Such  experiences are why training in tech and AI—particularly experiential  learning—are so important for lawyers who want to be an integral part of  the future of the profession. It’s also why providers who offer that  experiential learning [...] are so important for those who want to be prepared to tackle not just  the future, but the realities of the AI-driven practice of law we’re  already seeing today. 

 [...The AI Academy] offers a customized ‘learn-by-doing' approach to training that  allows lawyers to engage with prompt engineering and prototype-building  and interact with a personalized AI assistant named LawQi to learn how  to build tools, among other things."

"OBA president Kathryn Manning said lawyers are naturally curious about AI, but many people — including herself — haven’t been able to find enough hours in the day to explore the potential."

“Because the AI Academy helps you narrow the focus of your learning to the AI tools and applications that will be most valuable to your firm, organization or specialty, you don’t need to invest much time to take away just the practical knowledge you need,” she said.

"The OBA partnered with Praxis AI on the platform’s technical foundation. Praxis had previously created an AI-powered learning assistant used in US universities."

“They were recently featured by Anthropic as one of their advanced AI partners,” Lachance says, adding that the AI Academy is hosted on AWS infrastructure, which allows for near-limitless scalability, including usage by all Ontario law students if needed."
