Subject: E-commerce law workshop course 2003
Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2003 15:19:15 -0500

As some of you may know, I have taught an e-commerce law workshop 
course for the past few years that has had the added feature of 
web-based streaming.  The course has traditionally tracked the 
development on an e-commerce company with classes on the various 
legal issues faced along the way.

It is now being co-taught with my colleague Jennifer Chandler and it 
kicks off tomorrow.  Rather than covering the broad range of issues 
we've addressed in the past, we've shifted to a modular framework 
that will allow for a more intense focus on four issues -- 
e-contracting, privacy, jurisdiction, and financing.  Each module 
will be three weeks.  The first week will focus on substantive issues 
and will be typically be taught by either myself or Professor 
Chandler.  Week two will raise the policy and global perspective with 
discussions and analysis on what is occurring on that front.  The 
third week will zero in on the practical side of the issue with 
discussion of implementation of the law and policy.  The second and 
third classes of each module will again be staffed by a panel of 
experts from outside the law school.

You and your students are welcome to join in live or view archives of 
prior classes.  Those interested in even further involvement are 
welcome to join the class discussion list.  The course website at 
http://www.eclw.ca provides a course schedule and information on how 
to tune/join in.  Classes run each Wednesday from 4 - 7 ET.
