* 9/1/05: Welcome to the Seminar and website. In preparation for our first class, next Thursday afternoon, 9/8, please review the Syllabus and read carefully the assigned readings for the first session. Introduction:
Using a variety of Internet-related case studies drawn from recent, actual controversies, along with targeted readings, court filings,
real-life testimony, deposition videotapes and other actual demonstrative materials, the seminar covers the practical lawyering
skills essential for the successful and effective representation of clients in a wide variety of disputes in the field of Internet law. The
seminar's subject matter will cover issues including intellectual property, speech, privacy, competition and other core Internet law
themes. This seminar will condense and weave together a broad range of experiences students ultimately may encounter in the actual practice of
law in this burgeoning area with the core doctrinal and theoretical principles of the relevant areas of law. Accordingly, special emphasis
will be placed on decision-making and counseling skills; clear and persuasive writing, drafting and negotiating skills and, most
importantly; critical and strategic thinking. This seminar is designed in large measure as an offering for those students who intend to take, or have taken, the Clinical Program in Cyberlaw at the Berkman Center. This seminar will ensure that students are exposed to the fundamental building blocks necessary to enhance their ability to take full advantage of the program and better serve their clients. |
