A 2-credit, intensive 2-weekend capstone course delivered March 21–22 and 28–29, 2026. Practice-oriented, built around hands-on simulations using real AI legal tools.

Two parallel tracks

Corporate Track — AI-Powered Due Diligence Sprint

Anchored on Hershey’s 2017 acquisition of Amplify Snack Brands. Students worked in buyer and seller teams with deliberately asymmetric information, triaged 500+ contracts using AI tools, negotiated representations and warranties, and presented Red Flag Reports to a mock partner panel.

Litigation Track — Analytics & Predictive Strategy Lab

Anchored on Waymo v. Uber (N.D. Cal. 2017). Students generated AI outcome predictions, built a Litigation Risk Matrix, prepared settlement valuations (BATNA / WATNA), and ran a mock settlement negotiation.

AI Ethics module

A four-part framework spanning the personhood / attribution gap, agentic AI, physical AI and alignment, and contract liability allocation — the “AI Contract Stack.”

Speakers

The speaker program drew from Penn’s industry partners and across the legal-AI vendor landscape — practicing lawyers, vendor leadership, and academic researchers across both tracks.
