Law and the Internet

 Length:

Half-Day

Description:

Law and the Internet will provide an update on the legal developments with regard to the Internet use and technology. Although time does not allow an in-depth analysis of every aspect of the law that might be implicated, the following areas will be covered: intellectual property protection regimes as well as regulation of the use of intellectual property on the Internet, criminal law developments, jurisdictional issues, contract formulation and enforcement (with particular note to "cyberwrap licenses"), freedom of speech issues and developments, and defamation and other tort issues. Recent developments in statutory and case law will be discussed and presented with the primary focus on U.S. law. However, international law developments will be covered where those have great influence in a particular area.


Prerequisites:

None
