Generative AI Training for Law Firms
Midwest Frontier AI Consulting LLC offers training on AI use for law firms in the Midwest. We offer trainings focused on litigation use cases and transactional use cases. We have training on responsible AI use by your own firm, which will also explain the “why” behind the firm’s AI policy. We also have training on understanding use of AI by other attorneys, which may be useful whether your firm intends to use AI or not. If you are interested in training, email.
Initial in-person CLE was on Friday, December 5, 2025 in central Iowa. Two CLE hours were approved for credit in Iowa, including one hours of Ethics. Generative Artificial Intelligence Risks and Uses for Law Firms and AI Gone Wrong in the Midwest (Ethics).
I have recently selected a CLE learning management software and will have CLE Courses recorded and available on demand, likely in late January. This section will be updated when that become available. Generative Artificial Intelligence Risks and Uses for Law Firms: Training relevant to the legal profession for both litigators and transactional attorneys. Generative AI use cases. Various types of risks, including hallucinated citations, cybersecurity threats like prompt injection, and examples of responsible use cases. AI Gone Wrong in the Midwest (Ethics): Covering ABA Formal Opinion 512 and Model Rules through real AI misuse examples in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, & Wisconsin.
Once the CLE on demand option is live, I will be applying for accreditation in more states. In addition to Iowa, I will be applying for accreditation in other states, starting with Illinois, Minnesota, and Virginia, based on interest. If you want to see your state prioritized on the list, please let me know.
Your Law Firm’s Use of AI
We offer training on how to use free and low-cost GenAI tools while avoiding the pitfalls. Our training may also help you get more value out of expensive subscriptions for specialty LLM-enabled research tools.
We offer training on how to improve AI prompting techniques to make it easier to verify citations. We discuss how AI sycophancy is a problem that can be partially mitigated through asking better questions.
We discuss the different types of AI **hallucination—**convincing yet false information. The most headline-grabbing examples of attorney misuse of AI have involved completely fabricated cases. However, AI can mislead in subtler ways that could still lead to professional consequences for attorneys.
While a clear AI policy and proper training may help a law firm when individual attorneys misuse AI (e.g., Wadsworth v. Walmart), this is little comfort to a solo firm. Therefore, receiving proper training on GenAI is even more crucial to solo firms to avoid misusing these tools.
Illinois Supreme Court—“The Court encourages the development of technologies that enhance service to all court users and promote equitable access to justice. To facilitate this, the judicial branch will support ongoing education on emerging technologies, including AI.”)
Other Law Firms’ Use of AI
We offer training on how to identify when opposing counsel may have misused generative AI in preparing court documents. We also note trends in AI tools that may put attorneys at strategic disadvantage if they are unaware of them; awareness of these tools does not necessarily require adoption.
(Illinois Supreme Court—“The use of AI by litigants, attorneys, judges, judicial clerks, research attorneys, and court staff providing similar support may be expected, should not be discouraged, and is authorized provided it complies with legal and ethical standards. Disclosure of AI use should not be required in a pleading.”)
