Description
This class surveys a range of legal issues that have arisen in the context of the Internet, such as what laws apply to online conduct, what are the responsibilities of Facebook and other Internet intermediaries, what is "virtual property" and who owns it, and how does the law treat online privacy. The course has three goals: (1) to give students working knowledge of typical legal issues for which courts and legislatures have adopted Internet-specific rules; (2) to give students a sufficient understanding of the Internet's workings to conduct competent fact investigation in Internet-related matters; and (3) to use the rapid evolution of cyberlaw as a basis for reflecting more generally on legal evolution. Evaluation is by a scheduled, open book, in-class exam.
