Smarter, not generic: Using AI in your law firm applications

Learn how to use AI to strengthen your applications without losing the originality, judgement and personal voice recruiters want to see.

AI can be a powerful tool when applying to law firms, but relying on it too heavily can leave your application sounding generic and impersonal. This session explores how to use AI thoughtfully throughout the application process, from researching firms and generating ideas to reviewing and refining your answers. We’ll look at where AI can genuinely add value, where candidates often go wrong and how to protect your authentic voice. You’ll leave knowing how to make AI work for you without letting it become the author of your application.

key themes

  • Use AI in applications effectively
  • Maintain your authentic voice
