Prompt Engineering 101: Getting Better Answers from AI
The difference between a mediocre AI output and a genuinely useful one is rarely the tool. It is the quality of the instruction. Most legal professionals are using AI daily but have never been shown the handful of techniques that reliably turn vague answers into work product they can actually use.
In this hands-on workshop, Ben Palmer, C-Suite Director at Winmark, will walk through the fundamentals of prompting well: how to give AI the right context, structure a request, iterate on a first draft, and build reusable prompts for the tasks legal teams repeat every week, from contract summaries to board papers. Everything is demonstrated live, with real legal use cases rather than abstract examples.
No technical background is needed. Participants will leave with a practical toolkit of techniques and templates they can apply the same day, and a clear sense of how much more their existing AI tools can do when asked properly.
AI agents sound like something that needs a development team, a budget line and a six-month project plan. They are not. The tools now exist for a legal leader to build a working agent, one that takes a task, works through it step by step and hands back a finished output, in the time it takes to drink a coffee.
