The course will incorporate both in-person meetings and online interaction and collaboration. .

  This seminar considers the technology behind information security systems, the evolution of hacking and how these elements drive our national policies and evolve our legal jurisprudence. We will begin with a survey of computer security fundamentals, learning the foundation elements necessary for all information security systems. Next we will discuss risk assessment and management the core framework for developing secure systems. With this background we evaluate the current and past US information security policies for effectiveness and cost, such as prior US cryptology export controls and the current FFIEC guidelines for authentication. Next we explore the changing legal landscape with respect to corporate liability for breaches of personally identifiable information, the legal risks and responsibilities of information security practitioners and how social media security systems are potentially failing. Time permitting we will evaluate additional security policies and their effects for example the newly promulgated Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards and discuss whether government or the private sector should regulate such standards. This course will cover the basics of international legal research including treaty research, identification of important treatises, digests and encyclopedias as sources of custom and general principles and case law from international courts and arbitral bodies. In addition, the course will cover research of “soft law” (the documentation of intergovernmental organizations (IGOs)), particularly the United Nations. Because international legal issues are often intertwined with domestic and foreign legal issues, the course will cover as well foreign legal research with a focus on the civil law system and selected jurisdictions, like the European Union and Canada. Lastly, the course will cover research of selected specialty topics (i.e. international trade and investment law; international human rights). Classes will include lectures, hands on exercises and online quizzes. The emphasis of the course will be on teaching students how to formulate, organize, perform, and track their own research projects using a wide variety of resources and technological tools. Students should be able to use the skills learned in this class to better manage any research projects they may face in the future.
