Cyberlaw and Cyberpolicy

Course Description

Jurisdiction, speech, search, evidence, copyright, and response to attacks haven’t been the same since the Internet came into play—and law has been having a hard time keeping up with the changes that the new technology has wrought. This course is an introductory course to some of the complex legal issues of cyberspace. Learn how the Digital Revolution impacts First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment law, the failure and solutions of copyright in the Digital Age, problems raised by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, antitrust and tech, and the Law of Armed Conflict. The course will largely focus on U.S. law and jurisprudence, but will illuminate issues by adding an international perspective. Plan to write, think, and argue!
