AI Builders Workshop: A Hands-On Legal Tech Learning Session, Presented by the NYU Law EVC Program

The legal industry is being transformed by AI, but understanding it doesn’t require a computer science degree. In this interactive two-hour workshop, you’ll move beyond the hype to build practical AI solutions for real-world legal challenges.

Participants will work through three hands-on phases:

1. Crafting effective prompts for genuine legal tasks.
2. Comparing outputs from different AI models.
3. Building working AI applications you could deploy in a law firm tomorrow.

You’ll tackle challenges faced by BigLaw associates and partners, gaining direct experience with tools that are reshaping legal practice.

The workshop will be led by Christian Lang ’10, founder and CEO of Lega and founder of the NY Legal Tech Meetup, a 2,000+ member community advancing innovation across New York’s legal tech ecosystem.

This workshop is open to NYU Law students and has limited capacity. No coding background is required. Please use this form (https://forms.gle/8kZfXx3MXdXQ1gLb6) to indicate your interest and availability.
