Interim Dean William McGeveran Mentioned in Lawfare Article About Potential Software Liability Legislation

Interim Dean William McGeveran, Gray, Plant Mooty, Mooty & Bennett Professor of Law, was mentioned in a recent Lawfare article, “Shields Up for Software” about the Biden Administration’s quest to create software legislation. The authors write, “Enumerating best practices for the safe harbor will take time and may be context-dependent. William McGeveran, professor of information law and data privacy at the University of Minnesota Law School, offers an analogous approach in the cybersecurity context, suggesting that an initial set of best practices could be drawn from the requirements included in most or all extant certification frameworks for cybersecurity. Software security best practices could be mapped in similar fashion.”
