Vibe Coding for Lawyers: How to Do It and What You Need to Know

This CLE introduces lawyers to the emerging practice known as vibe coding, a nontraditional approach to building software-like tools through structured prompting rather than conventional programming.

The session explains what vibe coding is, how it works, and how lawyers without technical backgrounds can leverage it to design practical solutions inside their existing workflows. Attendees will also see live, real-time demonstrations showing how functional tools can be built using vibe coding techniques.

Topics include:
• What vibe coding is and how it differs from traditional software development
• How lawyers can learn and apply core vibe coding methods
• Examples of what lawyers can build
• Best practices for designing, testing, and documenting vibe-coded tools
• Material limitations and failure modes lawyers must understand
• Ethical, confidentiality, and professional-responsibility risks
• Live demonstrations of vibe coding in action, showing step-by-step tool creation
