The KeaneAdvisors.AI CLE Platform
Launches August 1
Accredited continuing legal education on AI governance — plus practical training on the tools themselves.
On August 1, 2026, KeaneAdvisors.AI opens its continuing legal education platform at keaneadvisors.ai/cle.
The reason for building it is straightforward. Attorneys are being asked to make decisions about AI — what tools are acceptable, what disclosure a client is owed, what supervision a non-lawyer assistant requires when that assistant is software — and most of the available education stops at "here are some prompts." That's not what the ABA Model Rules ask of you. Rule 1.1 competence, Rule 1.6 confidentiality, Rule 1.4 communication, Rules 5.1 and 5.3 supervision: these duties don't change because the tool is new. What changes is whether you can document that you met them.
This platform teaches that documentation.
What launches August 1
Accredited CLE. Courses submitted for or holding accreditation in a growing list of jurisdictions, beginning with Georgia, Florida, Idaho, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas and others pending jurisdictional approval. Because CLE accreditation is granted state by state, each course listing will state plainly which jurisdictions it is approved in, which are pending, and the credit type and hours awarded. If your state isn't listed, you'll know before you enroll, not after.
Free and paid tiers. Some courses will be offered at no cost. Others carry a fee. That distinction is driven primarily by jurisdictional accreditation requirements — some states impose filing, reporting, and administrative obligations that a free course cannot absorb. Pricing will be shown on each course page alongside its accreditation status.
Non-CLE product training. Separate from the accredited catalog, the platform will host courses covering the KeaneAdvisors.AI products and services directly — including the AI Governance Phase 0™ Assessment and the Defensible AI™ methodology. These carry no CLE credit and are labeled accordingly. They exist because knowing what governance requires and knowing how to actually execute it are two different problems.
Starting with Practical AI for Small Law Firms
The opening course is built on the second edition of Practical AI for Small Law Firms and the Assess → Design → Deploy framework: assess your firm's real constraints and current exposure before any tool enters the conversation, design the policies and review standards that fit your practice, then deploy in a controlled and documented way. In that order.
It is organized around a single question, which is also the question this entire platform exists to answer: can you defend how you used this tool? Not whether it saved time. Whether — if a client asks, a court questions a filing, or a bar complaint arrives — you can demonstrate in writing that your use of AI was informed, supervised, and documented.
Most firms cannot answer that today. That is not a failure of professionalism. It is a documentation gap, and it is closeable.
