Summer 2024: a new skill in 10 hours!
Legal Revolution
14-15 May 2024

Summer in the office is the best time to catch up on side projects & recharge the batteries.
It’s also the perfect opportunity to learn new skills.
Data literacy is widely acknolwedged to be a must-have for legal professionals.
But it looks like a daunting task: highly complex, long learning paths, ...
​
We have designed a starter package for you:
in just 10 hours (5 workshops of 2 hours), you will learn and apply the knowledge that will save you hours or days when business restarts at the end of the summer!

Starting with a legal task

The most effective way to bring Data Literacy to lawyers is to quickly create something of value:
our workshops start with a business problem, end with a fully functional toolkit, and in between participants will learn a great deal of data science.
​
We will apply a simple yet highly effective process that you will reuse all the time:
- Start with a business objective: a long and repetitive task
- Write down in plain English all the tasks that you usually perform manually
- Translate each of these steps into a machine readable language
- Run them, and see how these few seconds compare to your usual hours-long manual tasks
