ChatGPT for Family Lawyers™ — Module 7: Persuasive Legal Writing with AI (Without Sounding Like AI) Clear, persuasive writing is critical in family law, where judges review large volumes of filings and credibility matters. Module 7 of ChatGPT for Family Lawyers™ focuses on how AI tools can be used as an editing and refinement assistant to improve clarity, structure, and judicial tone, without replacing attorney voice or professional judgment. This module teaches that AI is best used to strengthen organization and language, not to generate legal arguments or advocacy. Participants learn how to use AI to revise drafts so they are concise, professional, and written for judges rather than clients or marketing audiences. Through live demonstrations using hypothetical Florida family law scenarios, the course shows how AI can assist with: • Editing motions to improve clarity and judicial tone • Eliminating robotic or generic “AI-sounding” language • Reframing arguments to focus on restraint, credibility, and precision Each demonstration highlights what AI can improve and where lawyer judgment remains essential, including preserving persuasive strategy, matching judicial preferences, and maintaining authentic professional voice. Ethical guardrails are reinforced throughout the module. Attorneys remain fully responsible for all written advocacy, and all facts and legal conclusions must be independently verified. AI is taught strictly as a refinement tool, not as a substitute for legal experience or analysis. This module is ideal for family law attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants who draft motions, memoranda, and proposed orders and want to improve writing quality while maintaining ethical and professional standards. All demonstrations use fictional facts, and no confidential client information is involved. Participants leave with practical editing techniques that can be applied immediately to improve courtroom-focused written advocacy.
