Demystifying Software and Programming for Legal Professionals

CPUs, GPUs, and RAMs are used daily, but do we know what this alphabet soup means? Computing hardware has been an essential component of the process of calculation and data storage since it became useful for numerical values to be processed and shared. Software represents the computer programs that tell computers what to do. Understanding how computers work, from our laptops to the Internet of Things (IoT) in our cars or even fridges, allows us to grasp the underlying mechanisms that power devices and how they can be exploited or attacked by nefarious actors. For attorneys, this knowledge can translate to more effective eDiscovery and work to uphold ethical responsibilities of competence, such as Model Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1. It can also provide critical context for matters involving technology, since today’s litigations reflect our increasingly digitized world. Understanding how software and programming work and their relationship to each other will allow attorneys to provide better counsel to their clients, comply with ethical responsibilities, and evolve with technology.
In this online seminar, our expert panelists begin by breaking down the essential aspects of software. Our speakers then provide a comprehensive explanation of programming, its underlying concepts, distinctions between programming languages, and their relevance in machine learning. To conclude this course, our esteemed panelists also explore the internet as a network, discussing its various components.
