Is there such a list of dozens and dozens of law schools in the US that teach this program? Ive been searching to no avail - finding only the major Ivy's and top Publics. I know many offer a class or two, but I haven't seen many with a program designed around it.

Er -- not sure where you are getting your information, but this is almost completely wrong. There are dozens and dozens of law schools in the U.S. with this type of program. Far from being "young and vibrant," many of the programs go back 15 to 20 years, and the field is seen by many as a bit hackneyed.

In the US there are only a handful of law schools teaching Law, Science, and Technology tracks - otherwise known as Internet or Cyber Law. Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Columbia, and a few others have such a program or similar thereto.
Most other law schools only offer a class or two in what is a young and vibrant area of law, especially in light of the recent Wikileaks escapade.
Do any of you have any insight into other Law Schools that have, or are planning to have a Law, Science, and Technology Law track within their Law School? (Yes, Im looking for candidate law schools to apply to as well) :-)
Do you think this is an area that is being ignored or dismissed as a legitimate niche?
Please discuss!
