The university I just exited has a law and tech law program. They are guided by a popular lawyer named Micheal Geist http://www.michaelgeist.ca/. May be he is full of himself but I am not backing that statement up. Here is a list of his courses http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/blogsection/5/170/ He is at the University of Ottawa. I attend there law students and technology seminars and they are great. I managed two undergrad law and sociology course at the sister school in town http://www.carleton.ca/law Geist has recently had a popular newspaper column about law and tech and favours discussions of copyright which personally I think it wrong headed Internet law. He previously and may still does provide a legal newsletter service on Internet law cases. Mind you he is also a nice guy and helped me out a bit via e- mail when I was an undergrad so I think he also supports learning and does not come across as some professor snob. What else to discuss? The price of law schools are unregulated and the tuition is much too high. The University of Ottawa recently fired an activist physics professor. No all is not good at school these days.

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! -- Thomas Jones http://www.TheOtherTomJones.com http://twitter.com/OtherTomJones http://www.linkedin.com/in/TheOtherTomJones One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community. -- Albert Einstein, On Education -- Sent with Sparrow _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
