Legal Research • AI Verification • Intellectual Property • Career Development
Strong legal research skills remain one of the most valuable assets a legal professional can bring to any law firm, corporate legal department, government agency, or litigation team.
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape how legal work is performed, legal professionals must know how to research with accuracy, verify AI-generated information, evaluate legal sources, and apply research findings in a practical, client-centered way.
This June, Agility Academy is focusing on one of the most important skill areas for paralegals, legal assistants, litigation support professionals, legal operations teams, and attorneys: modern legal research.
Our June calendar is designed to help participants strengthen core research skills, build confidence with AI-assisted tools, and prepare for specialized growth in intellectual property research.
Agility’s prior course calendars have used monthly themes, weekly learning paths, featured programs, and career-focused course descriptions, so this June calendar follows that same structured style while reflecting your updated legal research and IP direction.

For paralegals and legal support professionals, strong research skills can open the door to more advanced assignments, greater confidence, and specialized career opportunities in areas like intellectual property, litigation support, compliance, and legal operations.
