Graduate Diploma – Law & Digital Technologies
More than ever, law and digital technologies must collaborate for a new engineering of society; yet the training of lawyers and digital engineers does not equip them to communicate and work together. Law and social science professionals need a digital and technological culture that allows them to understand and build the tools that transform their profession and society as a whole. A growing number of entrepreneurs, engineers or profiles from social sciences or creative backgrounds are demanding additional training that allows them to understand and build the tools that transform their profession and society as a whole.
This course is based on an innovative and active pedagogy, with conferences, interactive workshops and privileged exchanges led by actors of the digital and legal professions and research. It is open to lawyers and digital transformation actors without any prior legal training requirement. The content of the courses focuses on the interactions between law and digital technologies. More specifically, questions relating to the transformation of legal practices, the analysis of legal data, the framework of artificial intelligence, the protection of digital data, the normative innovations of the blockchain and the challenges of predictive justice will be addressed.
