Practical AI tools
for lawyers
COURSE
The promise of AI sounds tempting. The reality is more challenging.
Everyone is talking about AI. But as a lawyer, you don't want hype, you want results. Concrete tools that speed up your work, deepen your research, and give you more time for what really matters: your clients.
The problem? There are now hundreds of AI tools. Some promise mountains of gold, others mainly deliver noise. How do you separate the wheat from the chaff? Where do you start?
This course gives you that starting point.

About this course
During this course, you will be introduced to a wide range of AI applications that are relevant to legal and/or tax practice. We will not only show you what these tools can do, but also explain how they work and why their output differs depending on the underlying technology, training material, and degree of specialization.
You will see a variety of tools in action: from broad language models such as ChatGPT and Claude to specialized solutions for legal research. We will demonstrate tools that work with legal publishers and explain the technology behind them. This will help you understand not only what they do, but also why the output differs.
During the course, we will demonstrate at least the following:
one or more language models and their capabilities;
two more general legal tech tools;
two specialized tools for legal research;
the best tool for creating presentations.
Afterwards, you will know exactly:
Which AI tools are relevant to your work
How to use them effectively
Where the possibilities and limitations lie
How you can get started right away tomorrow
Not a miracle cure. But a smarter lawyer.

Your teacher
Joyce Boonstra
Former lawyer, Legal Tech Expert & Trainer
Joyce combines two things that rarely go together: a legal background with in-depth technical knowledge of AI. She was one of the first lawyers in the Netherlands to structurally integrate language models into her daily practice. Not as an experiment, but as a working method.
While others were still waiting, Joyce was testing. She knows the possibilities and pitfalls of various tools firsthand. Not from theory, but from hours of practical experience.
That combination makes her training sessions different. No slides full of promises, but concrete applications. No hype, but nuance. And always the question: does this work for your practice?
