Description

This course will explore difficult problems in cyberspace, presented by guests who are confronting them. Guests may include academics, technologists, businesspeople, regulators, and social entrepreneurs whose puzzles require solutions that span disciplines and approaches. Students' final contributions will be to make meaningful progress on one of the problems.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The course is jointly offered with Harvard Law School, and will meet at Stanford. Half the students will hail from HLS. The course will meet for two hours DAILY weekdays from January 3 through January 19, meeting by default in the evenings.

The particular problems taken up in the course will be new, and they will be determined and shaped by a corresponding fall term planning seminar at HLS. Last year's course site may be helpful in giving a sense of the course (see http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/cyberlaw_winter10/).

Students must be prepared to take an active role in the course, to manage the compressed course January meeting times with other commitments, and to embrace experimentation in course format and with new technologies. Prerequisites: at least one course in cyberlaw or related fields.

SLS students interested in enrolling in the winter course can now access the application web site at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/forms/cyberlaw2011.cgi. The deadline for all applications is August 1, 2010. (The fall planning seminar meets at HLS, and thus isn't open to SLS students, though SLS winter term admittees will be informally included in fall planning.)
