CS50: Harvard University’s introduction to computer science designed especially for lawyers (and law students)
There is a free 10 week long online course CS50 which is a variant of Harvard University’s introduction to computer science designed especially for lawyers (and law students). Whereas CS50 itself takes a bottom-up approach, emphasizing mastery of low-level concepts and implementation details thereof, this course takes a top-down approach, emphasizing mastery of high-level concepts and design decisions related thereto. Ultimately, it equips students with a deeper understanding of the legal implications of technological decisions made by clients.
Course is online and free, duration 10 weeks. Time commitment is 3 – 6 hours per week.
Course audit is free and a fee of $199 for a Verified Certificate.
Contract Law: From Trust to Promise to Contract
Learn online about contracts from Harvard Law Professor Charles Fried, one of the world’s leading authorities on contract law. Contracts are promises that the law will enforce. But when will the law refuse to honor a promise? What happens when one party does not hold to their part of the deal? This version of the course adds new units on Interpretation, Agency, Partnerships, Corporations, and Government Regulation.
We are exposed to contracts in all areas of our life — agreeing to terms when downloading a new computer program, hiring a contractor to repair a leaking roof, and even ordering a meal at a restaurant. Knowing the principles of contracts is not just a skill needed by lawyers, it illuminates for everyone a crucial institution that we use all the time and generally take for granted.
Course is online and free, duration 8 weeks. Time commitment is 3 – 6 hours per week.
