How you get there, in three steps

Free, self-paced, and open without an account. The only thing it asks of you is that you try each chapter on real work.

  1. Take the course, and use it on real work

    29 chapters, from what a large language model actually is to running a matter end to end. Read a chapter, then open HAQQ in the next tab and run it on a file you are already working on. Nothing here is theory you cannot try the same afternoon.

  2. Pass the test at the end of every chapter

    17 of the 29 chapters end in a test, so you find out what you actually retained instead of assuming. The rest of the Academy is open while you work: 391 prompts, 738 clause examples across 44 categories, 338 AI skills, 70 document templates and 20 free tools. No account, no credits.

  3. Get certified

    Pass the test at the end of every chapter that has one and you have completed HAQQ's legal AI course - a certificate for your LinkedIn profile, your CV and your feed that says what you can do on Monday morning, not what you sat through. It is free, like the rest of it.

Four thousand years, in twenty-nine chapters

The course reads law as one long protocol upgrade - rules cut into stone, then copied by hand, then sold by the hour, then run by machines. Six of the chapters it passes through.

  1. The upper part of the basalt stele of the Code of Hammurabi, showing the king standing before the seated sun god Shamash above a field of cuneiform.

    A Short History of Justice

    Hammurabi's stele, around 1750 BC. The rules were carved in stone in a public place — the first recorded attempt to make law something a person could go and read for themselves rather than be told.

  2. An engraving of the Twelve Tables of Roman law being displayed in the forum, with citizens gathered to read them.
    Chapter 2 · 12 min

    The Origin of Law

    The Twelve Tables, published around 450 BC after the plebeians demanded the law be written down. Origin of law and sources of law are different questions, and this is a picture of the second one being answered.

  3. A wartime British factory worker clocking in at a time recorder on the wall, card in hand.
    Chapter 9 · 10 min

    The Death of the Billable Hour

    Time became the unit of account when time was the scarce thing. Photograph the mechanism and the assumption behind the billable hour is hard to miss.

  4. A row of women working at a Bell System telephone switchboard, headsets on, patching calls by hand.
    Chapter 12 · 12 min

    Being a Lawyer in the Age of AI

    Switchboard operator was a skilled profession, a career, and a labour market — for about fifty years. The work did not get worse. It got automated, and the people who moved early moved into the jobs above it.

  5. The ENIAC computer in 1946: two operators at a wall of vacuum-tube panels and patch cables.

    Legal AI Fundamentals

    Every capability in this chapter is a descendant of that room. Knowing roughly how the machine works is what stops you either over-trusting it or dismissing it.

  6. A French illustration from the 'En l'an 2000' series imagining the year 2000, including a classroom where books are fed into a machine and piped to pupils.
    Chapter 27 · 11 min

    The Future of Legal Work

    France, around 1900, imagining the year 2000. The machines are wrong and the assumptions are right: they predicted the tasks would be automated and the institutions would stay exactly as they were.
