Sources and what we verified

Thomson Reuters post (Apr 1, 2026): four tracks incl. AI Foundations, CoCounsel Legal practice, co branded certificates ↗

What we verified: The Thomson Reuters post says law students with platform access get four tracks, including AI Foundations, with Hotshot videos, practice in CoCounsel Legal and a co branded certificate per course. Cost to students and course list for the AI track not stated; freeAward left false because no page says the certificate is free. Thomson Reuters offers no public CoCounsel certification for practicing lawyers that we could confirm; an older Westlaw Edge Credly badge we found is listed as expired.

Fees and eligibility can change. Confirm current terms with the issuer before you pay.
