Harvey Launches Free Legal Engineering Certification — Here's How Nigerian Lawyers Can Register

AI legal technology company Harvey has rolled out a new free certification programme aimed at training lawyers and legal professionals for what it calls "Legal Engineering," a fast-growing hybrid role that combines legal judgment with technical know-how. The self-paced course, launched through Harvey Academy just days ago, is open to legal professionals worldwide, including in Nigeria, and requires no payment to enrol.

What the Course Covers

The certification is built around Harvey's experience supporting AI adoption across hundreds of law firms and legal departments globally. It walks participants through the core skills needed to bridge legal expertise and AI fluency, covering four main areas:

• Legal expertise and how it applies in an AI-driven practice
• AI and technology fluency for legal work
• Process design and workflow improvement
• Driving adoption through training, enablement, and change management

Participants who complete the course earn a shareable digital badge certifying their understanding of Legal Engineering, a credential they can add to their LinkedIn profile or CV.

Why It Matters for Nigerian Lawyers

Harvey notes that AI adoption across law firms and legal departments has grown sharply in just two years, and organisations are increasingly looking for people who can translate legal processes into scalable, AI-enabled systems. For Nigerian lawyers looking to stay ahead of the curve, a free, globally recognised certification offers a low-barrier way to build practical AI skills that are becoming relevant across law firms, in-house legal teams, and legal tech companies.

As legal practice worldwide continues to shift toward AI-supported workflows, credentials like this one could give early adopters a competitive edge in a market where "Legal Engineering" is still a developing field, meaning there's still room to help shape what the role becomes.

How to Register

The course is free and self-paced, and interested lawyers can sign up directly through Harvey Academy's website to begin the certification at any time.
