Section Description
This seminar is part doctrinal and statutory foundation, part public policy, and part real-world role-playing exercises. It will begin by laying a foundation of U.S. law related to cybersecurity, data privacy, and surveillance. It will then delve into a series of selected topics--such as regulating encryption; data breach response, and European privacy regulation--that will combine close reading of relevant cases, legislation, and regulations with class visits by practitioners from multiple fields and perspectives.
Students will be required to write a substantial research paper on a topic chosen in consultation with the instructors, and students will also be required to write several short response papers throughout the semester.
This seminar is limited to 16 students. The waitlist will not promote in number order; Professor Tannenbaum will select students from the waitlist.
