- The Law Society’s InnoTech Committee (the “ITC”) is committed to nurturing innovative legaltech ideas for possible community adoption with an aim to promote the use of technology for improvement of the delivery of legal services by lawyers and access to justice.
- As the world paved way to the new digital age amid COVID pandemic, embracing innovation and programming has become a key to building a more efficient practice in an increasingly data and tech-driven legal industry. A basic understanding of programming language like Python and data analytics could be helpful in a lawyer’s professional capacity as it enables legal practitioners to use legal technology to a fuller extent.
- In this 90-minute webinar, participants will be introduced to the essential concepts of big data, data analytics, and programming; as well as the latest market trend in the LegalTech. Through case sharing alongside coding demonstrations, members will be empowered to proactively tackle problems faced with the use of technology and a programming mindset; and gain a deeper understanding of how big data and Python are changing the legal industry to help lawyers for better decision making and efficient streamlining work tasks.
