Most AI training for lawyers is crap
Some lawyers are using AI to transform their work while others endlessly debate whether to use ChatGPT
Most lawyers are drowning in AI webinars that promise everything and deliver nothing.
I built something different.
Three years ago, I started my Inner Circle for solo and small-firm lawyers. Not to chase shiny objects or debate AI ethics.
To figure out what works and get immediate results.
This year I added a twice-weekly ChatGPT Lab workshop where lawyers discuss AI tools together. No theory. Just real practice.
The sad truth
Here’s the sad truth: Most “AI for lawyers” training is garbage.
It’s either:
Vendors promoting their latest product
Consultants who’ve never practiced law
Abstract discussions that waste time
We do it differently.
Every week, lawyers share what’s working in their practices. No sugar-coating. No sponsored content. Just brutal honesty about what saves time and what doesn’t.
I occasionally invite vendors to present, not for a sales pitch. Everyone asks questions and hears honest reactions.
What we don’t do vs. what we do
What we don’t do:
Chase every new AI tool that launches
Let vendors control the conversation
Pretend everything is revolutionary
What we do:
Test promising options
Share real-world experiences from the trenches
Build systems that work well for solo and small firms
The reality check
The main problem? Most lawyers are debating whether to try ChatGPT while smart ones are using it for routine work.
The gap between them is widening fast.

For a limited time, I’m letting folks sign up and try the program for 30 days for just $1.

P.S. One member recently told me: “I went from rejecting AI because I thought it was overhyped to using it daily in my practice.” That’s the kind of breakthrough we foster in the ChatGPT Lab.
