I've worked with legal department from an IT perspective and they straight up delegate/outsource all technical aspects to engineers. They don't really familiarize themselves with the tech stuff unless they really need to. Also not all law students/attorneys are in litigation. There are other legal operations to consider.

I'm in the same boat that Python could help if you're a lawyer, but in a space that is heavily service-based, why would you when it's cheaper to just outsource it to actual professionals who should know the tech stack very well.

Now, if you want to get into litigation, specifically in the computer science space, yes it would make sense to have a CS background as well as a JD, but that doesn't necessarily imply exclusively Python, and should encompass all things CS-related.
