AI has exploded across the legal industry but for many lawyers, it still feels overwhelming, risky, or simply “not for them.” Today’s guest has made it his mission to change that. Joining us is Robert Eder an intellectual property lawyer, legaltech educator, and one of Europe’s leading voices on AI prompting for lawyers. Robert designs legal automation solutions, and teaches lawyers around the world how to use AI safely, effectively, and creatively. Robert has trained hundreds of lawyers across Europe and is one of the clearest voices on how to use AI responsibly, safely and with real legal precision.
Here are a few standout takeaways:
Lawyers aren’t bad at prompting they’re undersold. Their analytical mindset actually gives them an advantage.
Most people still treat AI like Google. Adding structure through XML tags, roles and answer-levelling changes everything.
The first AI skill every lawyer should learn isn’t drafting it’s controlling output. Structure before substance.
Hallucinations aren’t a deal-breaker. Responsible AI frameworks give you quality control, not guesswork.
You don’t need 70% of AI tools on the market. With the right prompting, one model + the right workflow beats shiny software every time.
Legal prompting is not the same as general prompting. Law has edge cases, nuance, and risk your prompts must reflect that.
Two general points to reflect on:
- Lawyers don’t need to become engineers. They need to become better communicators with machines.
- If you don’t understand prompting, you’ll always think AI is unreliable — when in reality, it’s only as clear as the instructions you give it. It’s practical, hands-on and genuinely career-shifting.
AI isn’t replacing lawyers. Lawyers who understand AI are replacing the ones who don’t.
