Free courses for attorneys and their staff.

For forty years, I did this work by hand.
Now I’ll show you how AI does it.

And when you want it set up properly on your machines,
around your actual matters I’ll do that personally.

Forty years with civil and federal attorneys. Applications, training, technology
policy, litigation support, accessibility compliance, data security.

Start where you sit.

I’m an attorney.

Where the ethics lines actually are, how to verify anything before it reaches a filing, and what AI really does to a document set — taught by someone who assembled those sets by hand for four decades.

I’m a paralegal or legal assistant.

The work that eats your evenings — indexing, digests, chronologies, summaries — done in a fraction of the time. And, just as importantly, how to check it before it reaches your attorney.

Win back the hours you can’t bill

Intake summaries, document indexing, deposition digests, status memos — the work that eats your evenings and never makes it onto an invoice. That’s where AI pays for itself first, long before it ever touches a billable task. And it pays the same way for the staff doing that work at seven in the evening.

I know what the right answer looks like

A civil contract dispute: over 3,000 emails and attachments, collected with metadata intact, organized chronologically, summarized individually and in aggregate, then cross-referenced against the complaint, the depositions, the requests for admission, and the requests for production — for every named party. The pattern that came out of it turned the case.

I did that by hand. It took weeks. With the right setup it takes days — and I’ll show you how, including how to verify every step.

The entire risk in legal AI is that it is very good at sounding right. Knowing what the correct output looks like is the only real defense, and it is the thing I actually teach.

Your client data, configured properly

Whether AI is safe to use on a client file has almost nothing to do with which tool you pick and almost everything to do with how it is configured — where the documents sit, which account is syncing them, what the settings do with your text. I built a case management platform for law firms and ran it inside a HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2 Type II data center. When you ask me whether your client data is safe, I’m answering from having been audited on it.

From document to clarity

AI compares documents, summarizes large files, and turns hundreds of emails into a clear timeline. It can build a chronology from text messages and translate a document in seconds. The courses show you how — and how to check the result before anyone relies on it.

Every course here is free

No card. No trial. No subscription. No email sequence you can’t escape. The courses are free because they are how you decide whether to hire me — and if they turn out to be all you needed, that’s a fine outcome too.

Work with me one-on-one

When you want it set up properly on your own machines — tools configured, workflows built around your actual matters, your people trained, and the policy written down — that’s the part I do personally. Published prices, flat fees, scoped before you pay.

Who I am

I’m Linda Schwartz. I’m not an attorney — I’m a systems analyst, and for forty years civil and federal attorneys have hired me to make the technology work: selecting the applications, training the staff, writing the technology and accessibility policies, and doing the litigation support underneath it all. I don’t sell software and I take nothing from anyone who does.

Start with the free courses. Book the call when you’re ready.

No subscription, no pitch, no sequence you can’t escape.
