142: Legal Writing Powered by A.I. (with Ross Guberman)

Lawyers who write briefs know that their first drafts are usually filled with errors and inconsistencies. Having a set of fresh eyes look over the draft helps tremendously, and now you can use artificial intelligence to help you edit faster and do a better job with less stress. 

In this episode, premier legal writing instructor Ross Guberman explains how he created his A.I.-driven "legal-writing coach," which he named BriefCatch.

BTW, I'd love to get your feedback or answer any questions you have (which I will respond to in upcoming episodes).
