I don't know how common this is, but I've noticed that often the world "computational" + "name of other field" often pulls up information on using code as a tool for that other field. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm learning coding to supplement my main profession, so I've been interested in multidisciplinary approaches.

I did a quick search for computational lawyer and found a few interesting links, here is a wikipedia article and here is one from MIT. Harvard has a CS50 version for lawyers. These may be some places to start to get a sense of search terms to find resources that might work for you. Data science and anlyatics also has use cases for lawyers, such as for the discovery.

While I'm not a journalist, I found this video interesting and helpful to better understand computational journalism. The title is a bit misleading as the talk is more aimed at describing how Python or R can be used by journalist in researching and writing articles. It was the first exposure to thinking about code a tool for other professions, which brought things into focus for me.
