Level Two · 100% online · 6 weeks · completed with a live oral defense.

Build the source-grounded research and drafting workflow that turns AI’s speed into court-ready work. You’ll frame issues, ground answers in verified sources, validate every authority, draft memos and briefs under oversight, and produce a verification appendix — the artifact that proves the work. Your capstone is a research memo you defend live.
