Legal AI company Harvey has launched Harvey Academy, a new education program aimed at helping lawyers and legal teams adopt artificial intelligence responsibly and effectively as AI becomes embedded in legal workflows.
The program is designed to address a growing skills gap in the legal profession, where AI tools are advancing rapidly but structured, legal-specific training remains limited. While many lawyers are experimenting with AI for research, drafting, and analysis, uncertainty around proper use, limitations, and governance continues to slow broader adoption.
Harvey Academy will serve as a centralized learning hub offering on-demand courses, practical videos, and certification pathways built specifically for legal professionals. Target audiences include law firm lawyers, in-house counsel, legal operations teams, innovation leaders, and law students.
At launch, the Academy includes several free foundational offerings, including Intro to Harvey, AI for Legal Basics, and Harvey in Practice, which demonstrate how AI can be applied to real legal workflows. Learners who complete courses receive digital certificates and LinkedIn badges, reflecting the growing importance of demonstrable AI literacy in the legal sector.
Harvey plans to expand the Academy with deeper feature training, guided onboarding, and role-based modules for teams. The initiative builds on Harvey’s broader efforts to support responsible AI use in law, including partnerships with law schools and academic institutions.
As AI adoption accelerates across the profession, programs like Harvey Academy signal a shift toward more structured, accountable approaches to legal AI education.
