Artificial Intelligence for the Legal Profession

"The AI Consultants at Shelton & Steele are unlike anyone else out
there. First, they taught me everything I should NOT do with AI and
why. That was critical. Then they showed me several things that AI
can do and that blew my mind. Finally, they gave me practical, usable
strategies that will change everything about the way I practice law (and the way I market my services!) forever."
Celeste Moy, Rimon Law
​
"Honestly, I was very skeptical about AI. Then Mr. Shelton gave several members of my firm a glance behind the curtain and showed us what no one else is talking about. He's very specific about training your AI in advance and his ROSE formula for Prompt Engineering is nothing less than genius. He doesn't talk about AI. He shows you how to do what no one else knows how to do."
Partner, San Diego Law Firm
​
"Wow. Just wow. I don't even know what to say. I'm now SO far ahead of anyone I know, when it comes to how to use AI. And it was easy! This course is going to put a lot of attorneys way ahead of their competition."

Frederick Shelton has been writing about Legal AI since he predicted it would have a game-changing impact on the law, in 2019. He writes about GenAI (generative AI like Chat & Bard) in his column for Attorney at Law Magazine, "Shelton Shares". He is in the final phases of his book "The Essential Guide to AI for Lawyers and Law Firms: 2024 Edition".
Frederick has interviewed the CEO's and Founders of Legal-Specific GenAI startups and the C-Levels and Directors AI for major players like Thomson Reuters, Google and Microsoft. He has interviewed in-house counsel, members of Congress & the Senate, and the Global Chair's of AI for several AmLaw 100 law firms, all for the purpose of learning exactly how attorneys can safely and effectively use AI.
He has been invited to lecture and panel of the subject of "AI's Impact on the Law" by both UCLA and American University's School of Law.
During his interviews, Frederick focused on a single goal: Learn how attorneys can gain the skills necessary for the practical and applicable usage of GenAI, in the practice of law. That goal has been accomplished and his online course, based on the book will be available to attorneys in September of 2023.
"The Essential Guide to AI for Lawyers & Law Firms: Video Edition" will be presented by Mr. Shelton and his guest presenters, who will include CEO's, Developers and Thought Leaders of the Industry.
