The "Data Science for Lawyers" course is designed to provide lawyers with an in-depth understanding of the complex and rapidly evolving field of data science. The course consists of 30 hours of instruction, covering a wide range of topics that are crucial for lawyers who work in the digital age. The course focuses on the digital ethics of data and how this intersects with the law. This includes an introduction to data science, the legal implications of working with data, and the various AI techniques and visualization tools used in the industry.

In addition to the theoretical elements of the course, the "Data Science for Lawyers" course also includes a hands-on project where students will have the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge in a practical setting. In this project, students will work in groups to analyze a real-world legal scenario, using coding and data analytics tools. 
The course will also cover the regulatory framework in the European Union, including the Data Act, the AI Act, the PSI 2 Directive, and the Copyright Directive. These laws are critical for lawyers who work in the digital age, as they provide the framework for the collection, storage, and use of data. This section of the course will equip lawyers with the knowledge they need to ensure that they are fully compliant with EU legislation and that they are able to provide informed legal advice to their clients.

Overall, the "Data Science for Lawyers" course is an essential resource for a new generation of lawyers who need to stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly changing digital landscape. It provides a comprehensive overview of the legal and technical aspects of data science and equips lawyers with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the digital age.
