Online Instruction

Online Modules

The online readings are provided to ensure that attendees have the necessary understanding of Internet technology and the relevant fields of law. While optional, participation is strongly recommended, particularly for those with a limited legal background. Participants with considerable experience in Internet Law who choose to forego the preparatory readings are nevertheless encouraged to participate in the discussion forums.

Modules will be launched by 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) every two business days in accordance with the schedule below. Participants can login at any time of day during the instruction period. Modules that have already been launched will be available for review on an ongoing basis.  All discussion is asynchronous; please do not worry about being "late."

Please be advised that if you choose to reprint the module materials, you are responsible for asking permission of the individual authors in concordance with U.S. copyright law.
