Law and Technology Workshop

This seminar will bring nationally recognized scholars to Minnesota to present their current work on law and technology topics, such as artificial intelligence and the law, platform regulation and content moderation, privacy and surveillance, cybersecurity, algorithmic decision-making, and technology's implications for constitutional law. The seminar is designed to introduce students to the world of legal scholarship and the nature of scholarly exchange and to expose students to cutting-edge topics of legal and policy debate at the intersection of law and technology. Workshop sessions will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of works-in-progress from outside speakers. In preparing for the class sessions, students will be expected to write short, critical papers examining the work to be presented. Grades will be based on these papers and on students' participation during the workshop sessions.
