Digital Skills for Legal Practitioners The Wizard of OS (Operating Systems)

Digitalisation is transforming the criminal justice system, changing the way crimes are investigated, evidence is collected and legal proceedings are conducted. In order to navigate these developments, it is essential to have a sound understanding of the opportunities, challenges and limitations of digital technologies.

These interactive sessions go beyond theory. Through hands-on exercises, real-life case studies and interactive simulations, you will explore how digital technologies are used in criminal investigations and legal proceedings. You will gain practical insights into digital evidence and develop skills that you can apply to realistic scenarios in your professional practice. These sessions will contain practical exercises, so please ensure you have a computer available with administrative access and permissions to run software tools.

Objective

The iconic and popular story of the Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum has long been interpreted as a metaphor for the introduction of the Gold Standard and the economic cyclone that followed. In the Wizard of OS (Operating Systems), this metaphor is borrowed to highlight the practical implications of the digital cyclone that has blown through criminal justice and required a fundamental revision of judicial, legal and investigative approaches to crime and evidence. As a consequence, legal professionals now need to be empowered with a fundamental understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats inherent in such technology.
