What every law student should know about digitalization. Building a digital mindset for future lawyers

In recent years, Danish employers have increasingly demanded lawyers who have insight into and understanding of the digital agenda. Often, however, the employers have not been particularly clear about what they are looking for, and therefore it has been difficult for the Danish universities to equip students with the skills and competences that an increasingly digitised labour market is looking for. Based on discussions and interviews as well as observations of other professions’ desires, the author designed a course for the law programme, aiming at placing the first pieces of a legal digital mindset for the lawyers of the future. In the paper, the aim and pedagogy of the course and the gains that the approach so far seems to have given, is elaborated.
