The "Intro to Programming – Edinburgh" event, organized by Legal Hackers Scotland, is a free workshop designed to introduce law students and legal professionals to the fundamentals of programming. This initiative aims to equip attendees with basic coding skills, enhancing their ability to leverage technology in the legal field.
Participants will receive a brief introduction to programming principles and have the opportunity to build their first program using Python. The workshop is tailored for beginners with no prior programming experience, utilizing an online platform that allows coding directly in a web browser without the need for software installation.
A highlight of the event is a live linkup with Professor Daniel Katz from Chicago-Kent College of Law. Prof. Katz will discuss the importance of learning programming for legal professionals and explore opportunities in legal technology. His extensive experience in legal tech and education provides valuable insights for attendees.
The event also offers networking opportunities, including a session with beer and pizza, allowing participants to engage informally with peers and speakers. Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptops to fully participate in the hands-on programming exercises.
