Fundamental Technologies Shaping Legal Services

Fundamental Technologies Shaping Legal Services is a fully-online subject in the ground-breaking Master in Legal Business offered by the College of Law in Australia.

Early enrolments have come from Tel Aviv, London, Cape Town, Glasgow, Auckland and all parts of Australia, reflecting the global appeal of the subject and the online delivery platform.

The College’s initiative is predicated on the view that successfully leading a 21st century legal practice or law department requires a range of skills few professionals can solely learn ‘on the job’. This is particularly so in a time of volatility and change in the provision of legal services. Traditional management courses provide a solid grounding in various business-related disciplines, but are not tailored to the particular needs of the legal services industry.

The agile approach taken by the College involves introducing subjects for both in-house and private practice on an iterative basis, eventually building into the new qualification, The Master of Legal Business for those who seek the qualification.
