Description
This scenario-based course will teach students about the policymaking process at the intersection of technology, law and national security. Students will explore all sides of the key issues confronting the nation, such as end to end encryption, content regulation on social media, and the ethical development and use of artificial intelligence. The course will teach both law and practical lawyering by asking that students adopt the roles of key players, such as government officials from national security, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies; technology and social media companies; and advocacy organizations. The course will include input and participation from a range of experienced practitioners, who will help guide students as they take on their roles to develop and advocate for their positions. Students will be given a space to explore how effective policymaking requires that complex tradeoffs be made among political, social, economic, military, legal and ethical goals and values and how lawyers affect policy formulation, implementation and outcomes.
