  The full live session from October 29, 2026. Alex Wall follows a fictional ACME enterprise-contracting matter through five stages (matter setup, scoping and source capture, drafting, client updates and closeout) and shows how a standing AGENTS.md guide, preserved sources, fresh-context AI review and counsel’s verification keep AI-assisted work reviewable. Includes the professional-responsibility discussion (ABA Formal Opinion 512 and California, New York and Oregon guidance), a live question to the matter workspace, and participant Q&A.

Program materials

• Presentation slides · PDF, 42 pages

  The program deck: what an agent is and why to use one for legal work; the ACME matter and its cast; four document-trust tiers (source, scratchpad, AI-reviewed, human-approved); screenshots from each of the five demonstrated stages; excerpts from ABA Formal Opinion 512, California guidance, the New York model court rule, Oregon Opinion 2025-205 and California SB 574; and how an independent AI grader scored the prepared run.

• AGENTS.md matter-workspace guide · Markdown

  The take-home standing guide used in the demonstration. Place it at the root of a workspace and ask an AI agent to “set up this project.” It directs the agent to inventory intake, preserve originals with SHA-256 provenance, organize correspondence, sources and facts, maintain matter-status, client-question and legal-task records, and follow Word-redline drafting, review tiers, preflight approval and delivery records. Adapt it to your own practice and firm policy.

Learning objectives

• Organize a matter workspace that supports both human review and AI-assisted legal analysis.
• Preserve original evidence and record provenance while distinguishing sources, derivatives, and tentative AI conclusions.
• Verify material AI claims against underlying correspondence and documents before relying on them in legal work.
• Apply review stages that distinguish source-checked AI work from counsel’s review and approval.
• Use a repeatable matter-repository workflow while recognizing that local Git history is not provenance, access control, or backup.

Timed instructional agenda

• 00–05 (5 minutes): Why use AI in legal practice; program objectives and the fictional ACME matter.
• 05–15 (10 minutes): Matter-workspace principles: preserved sources, provenance, scratch work, and review stages.
• 15–35 (20 minutes): Live ACME demonstration: inventory and organize the intake while preserving original evidence.
• 35–45 (10 minutes): Source verification: investigate the erroneous SSO conclusion and distinguish roadmap from committed capability.
• 45–50 (5 minutes): Reusable matter-repository workflow and practical takeaways.
• 50–60 (10 minutes): Substantive Q&A on applying and supervising the demonstrated workflow.
