About
Strong advocacy in family law depends on thorough preparation. Depositions, hearings, and trials require organized exhibits, focused witness outlines, and clear issue framing under strict time pressure. Module 6 of ChatGPT for Family Lawyers™ focuses on how AI tools can assist with organizing litigation preparation while preserving attorney judgment and professional responsibility. This module teaches how AI can be used as a litigation preparation assistant to help structure materials and workflows, not to make strategic or evidentiary decisions. Participants learn how to use prompts that generate organized frameworks which attorneys can then refine and tailor to their specific cases. Through live demonstrations using hypothetical Florida family law scenarios, the course shows how AI can assist with: • Preparing structured deposition outlines focused on income, expenses, assets, and parenting issues • Creating hearing preparation checklists covering exhibits, witnesses, and argument organization • Organizing trial themes, witness lists, and exhibit categories for final hearings Each demonstration emphasizes that AI outputs must always be reviewed and adjusted by counsel. The training reinforces that AI cannot assess credibility, determine admissibility, or replace professional judgment. Ethical guardrails are addressed throughout the module, including confidentiality protections, supervision responsibilities, and the requirement that attorneys remain fully responsible for advocacy decisions and courtroom presentation. This module is ideal for family law attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants who assist with litigation preparation and want to improve organization and efficiency without sacrificing quality or control. All demonstrations use fictional facts, and no confidential client information is involved. Participants leave with practical methods for structuring litigation preparation more efficiently and reducing last-minute trial and hearing stress.
