This seminar, led by Adjunct Professor Leslie Ann Reis and Professor George Trubow, considers the historical foundation and current status of information law and policies in America.

We're examining a variety of issues revolving around personal and organizational information that's held by third parties -- how it's gathered, used, and protected. Through discussions, hypotheticals, student presentations, and perhaps a lecture or two, the course explores many of the challenges facing information policy in the United States:

• right of access to information
• free-flow and use of information
• creating and value of an individual's "digital persona"
• roles of the government and private sector in protecting informational privacy
• and many more.
