Lost in Translation: Making AI Work for Complex Legal Language Across Borders

​AI can translate words - but legal work depends on meaning, context, and jurisdictional nuance. This workshop dives into the complexity of legal translation in cross-border work and shows how prompt engineering can bridge the gap between AI capability and legal accuracy. Through practical examples and interactive exercises, participants will learn how to structure AI-assisted translation workflows that reflect real legal reasoning.

Key Takeaways:

• ​How to move beyond literal translation and account for legal context, jurisdiction, and audience in AI outputs.

• ​Practical techniques for structuring prompts to improve consistency and reliability in legal translation.

• ​A framework for combining human legal expertise with AI to scale cross-border legal work more effectively.
