This program is being offered in partnership with Rubber City CLE/Akron Bar Association.

Anthropomorphism: Is All the Hype about Claude for Legal Real? is made possible by Red Cave Law Firm Consulting and the CLE Committee of the Akron Bar Association and Foundation (Rubber City CLE).

In this One-Hour (1.0) General CLE course, Jared D. Correia, Esq., Red Cave Law Firm Consulting, explores how everybody is talking all about how artificial intelligence is changing the game for legal. But, there is one AI company that has gotten deeper into the legal industry than any other: Anthropic.

Anthropic is the company behind Claude, an artificial intelligence chatbot, at its core, with broader feature for standard coding (Claude Code) and vibe coding (Claude CoWork). Anthropic recently hosted a webinar entitled ‘Claude for Legal Teams’, which cleared 20,000 live attendees. Even more recently, Claude released a number of legal-specific ‘connectors’ and ‘plugins’.

It would appear that Anthropic is all-in on legal – but, will the fervor last, and how real is the hype?

In this timely CLE presentation, we’ll jump into an overview of Claude, and discover what it can (and can’t) do for law firms. We’ll also seek to predict whether Anthropic’s interest in attorneys will wax or wane, over time.

Topics to be addressed include:

• what is Claude & what does it do
• what are connectors & plugins + how do they work
• Claude tool & pricing options
• why is Anthropic so interested in legal right now & will it last
