About this course

Family law is not a forgiving area for AI errors. A hallucinated citation in a research memo may be caught before it causes harm. A hallucinated child support calculation that reaches a client — who then makes decisions based on it — may cause harm that is difficult or impossible to undo.

This companion course takes the book's framework into daily paralegal practice, with specific attention to the three disciplines that family law demands above all others:

The UPL LineHeld under pressure from clients in crisis.
The Verification DisciplineEvery statute and figure against primary sources in your jurisdiction.
Attorney SupervisionEvery deliverable reviewed. Every strategic question routed. No exceptions.

How progress works

The course is free and open — no account, no email, no enrollment code. Your progress saves in this browser, on this device. Clearing your browser data clears your progress.

A note on jurisdiction

Every substantive legal claim, deadline, form, and calculation described in this course requires confirmation against current primary sources in your specific state. Nothing in this course substitutes for attorney supervision, jurisdiction-specific practice, or your firm's internal procedures.
