Artificial intelligence is transforming the way law firms operate, and Legal secretaries and PAs are at the heart of that change. From AI-assisted drafting and document management to transcription tools and legal research platforms, the technology shaping modern legal practice is evolving, and the professionals who understand how to work alongside it confidently and responsibly will be exceptionally well placed in their careers.
That is why we are delighted to announce the launch of our brand new AI in Legal Practice course.

This course provides a thorough and practical introduction to AI in the legal practice. You will learn what artificial intelligence is and how it works, explore the platforms and systems being used across the legal sector, and develop the skills needed to use AI tools effectively, ethically, and in accordance with your professional obligations.

Who Is It For?
This course is designed for anyone working in or aspiring to work in a legal support role. Whether you are just starting out and want to make sure your knowledge is current from day one, or you are an experienced Legal Secretary or PA looking to build your confidence and understanding of the technology increasingly present in your workplace, this course has been written with you in mind.
No prior knowledge of AI or technology is required. The course is written in a warm, accessible, and engaging style that meets you where you are and builds your understanding step by step.
Flexible Study Options
AI in Legal Practice can be studied as a standalone course, making it ideal for those who want to develop their knowledge in this specific area without committing to a full qualification. It is also available as one of the core skills options within ILSPA's Legal Secretaries Diploma, allowing Students to incorporate this timely and relevant unit into their professional qualification.
Why It Matters
AI is not a future concern for the legal profession because it is already here, and it is already changing the way legal support work is carried out. Legal Secretaries and PAs who understand how these tools work, how to use them responsibly, and how to apply their professional knowledge and judgement alongside them will be better equipped, more confident, and more valuable to the firms they work with.
Whether you are an ILSPA Student, a Member, or simply someone looking to develop their knowledge, this course has been developed to ensure that all who complete it are not simply keeping pace with change, but are genuinely prepared to embrace it.
