This is a debate that rears its head from time to time on social media. Once you have mastered basic tech skills consider whether you want more advanced tech skills such as the ability to program/code. If you are interested you can reach out so that we offer you short course on programming basics.
Understanding how digital technologies work and developing literacy in code helps to stand out in a crowded market place. If you not quite ready to develop your computational skills having an awareness of how legal technology is impacting on law is something that is achievable.
Not every law student needs to know how to code but they do need to have a basic understanding of technology to communicate and work with the coder so they can identify the legal issues relating to its use
My view is that if you need detailed coding done, just hire an expert to do it for you. I wouldn’t expect a lawyer to do the tough coding stuff. Just like you wouldn’t expect a coder to represent you in a court of law.
