Policy Considerations in Evolving Areas of the Law

Catalog description

Technology regulation is expanding in both scope and geography, and becoming inextricably linked with national security and politics. This course explores how the judicial, legislative and executive branches grapple with commercial and government interests in developing policy with respect to antitrust, patent, copyright, privacy, data, and security issues. The course will enable students to explore various perspectives related to policy-making, and will feature a series of speakers representing the different branches of government, lobbyists, and private companies in their respective approaches to the development and applications of technology-related legal fields.
