Coding for Lawyers: Python for beginners

Thinking about New Year's Resolutions? Why not add "learn to code" to the list?

In a continuation of our free, hands-on series helping legal professionals better use technology, we are offering an introduction to coding. This interactive training will introduce legal professionals how to code in a programming language called Python. You will learn the basics of computer programming, the limitations of what software can do, and how to start writing your own programs. Python can be used to make web scrapers, Twitter bots, and document automators.

This is an interactive training where every attendee will be writing code, so bring a laptop to the event. This course is for beginners with no coding experience who want to better position themselves in the quickly evolving legal market. The class will be taught by Matthew Stubenberg, an attorney and computer programmer who has developed numerous, successful legal technology projects. The event is a partnership between Legal Hackers Baltimore, the Maryland Bar's Young Lawyers Section, and the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service.
