Cyberlaw:
The Emerging Law of the Internet
with Jack Russo
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course will examine the history and emerging and growing body of law relating to the Internet along with the challenges and opportunities of representing internet startups. The sources of Internet law are many, from intellectual property to tort to privacy law. Given the newness and complexity of this technology, special attention will be paid to the application of existing laws and models to cyberspace and how technology is challenging settled legal understandings. Class discussions will consider, among other issues and policy discussion, practical approaches to current problems and the business issues faced by clients.
It should be useful for law students, law firm and in-house lawyers in companies thinking of dealing in internet commerce or international B2B or B2C sales, as well as for IP lawyers and litigators. Internet entrepreneurs looking for a legal background are also welcome. Prior courses in IP law helpful, but not required.
