AI FLUENCY PROGRAMMES
EQUIPPING THE PROFESSION FOR AN AI-AUGMENTED FUTURE
“… what is certain is that generative AI can help our younger colleagues execute certain routine tasks more efficiently and at higher quality, and it can therefore make legal work more sustainable. Hence, we should encourage equipping the profession with the skills to enable the widespread, informed and effective use of generative AI.”
~ Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, Opening Address at the Legal Profession Symposium 2025
Generative AI is reshaping the legal profession by accelerating legal research, contract drafting, and document review, enabling lawyers to deliver work more efficiently while focusing on higher‑value advisory and advocacy tasks. It is therefore essential to equip legal professionals with the skills to use these tools responsibly, understand their limitations, and apply sound judgment.
SAL has developed an AI Fluency Framework, training courses and other resources to support legal professionals for an AI-augmented future.
About the Framework
Recognised by IMDA as the framework for AI fluency in the legal services sector, it serves as a guide for developing curricula on using and deploying AI. The framework was developed in consultation with legal technology professionals and AI experts within the legal industry.

The framework forms part of LIFTED, the Legal Industry Framework for Training and Education. Training courses accredited by SAL to the framework will form part of a structured pathway for legal professionals to advance in their AI proficiency.
The following courses are offered as part of the structured training pathway for AI fluency in the legal sector, according to the respective proficiency levels of the AI Fluency Framework.
