AI in Practice ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini — 2026 Summer Update
About the Program

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are all rolling out their next generation of models this summer. GPT-5.6, the Claude 5 family, and the first Gemini 3.5 models arrive within weeks of one another, and each release changes what these tools can do in a law practice. Stephen Smith, founder and CEO, breaks down what is new in each platform and what the changes mean for your practice. Smith has trained more than 3,000 attorneys across more than 100 law firms and bar associations, with a focus on practical adoption and governance. The session covers how each model handles core legal tasks like drafting, document review, and legal research, and how to use the newest visual creation features to build timelines and infographics for your clients and your cases.
