From 25 – 27 March 2022, Jagruti Kumar, a German Master of Law and Business student at Bucerius Law School took part in the three day LWOW Sprint event hosted by IE University in Segovia. Over the course of 3 intense and challenging days, talented, multidisciplinary teams made up of a mix of intergenerational legal and business professionals, academics, and law/business school students from around the world worked together to solve real business-of-law problems and social responsibility challenges.
The Sprint 2022 followed the innovative 3-4-5 method (3 Phases-48 Hacking Hours-5 Stages) and included collaboration exercises, intensive hacking as well as a mini-composium. Jagruti talked to us about his experience.
Why did you chose to participate?
Post working for 5 years at law firms, I had come to an understanding that I need additional skills and knowledge to optimize and provide better legal solutions. The paths I saw to increase my skills and knowledge were through legal innovation, design thinking, strategic thinking and understanding of the functioning of businesses. The LWOW program is designed exactly for this purpose. I also liked the fact that you get a chance to collaborate and solve a problem rather than it just being theory. Given the above, it was a no-brainer for me to choose to participate.
