CyberSpace Law
for Non-Lawyers
  • The CyberSpace Law for Non-Lawyers electronic course, presented by the Cyberspace Law Institute and Counsel Connect, informs users on the internet about "cyberspace law."

  • According to the authors, "Cyberspace is a new and exciting frontier, and presents a host of new and difficult legal questions in many areas. The development of legal rules that will govern activity in this new environment is likely to be a complex, and at times a controversial, process."

  • These cyberspace law specialists hope to give you a basic framework that will help you think about some of the questions that have arisen in six areas of the law:

    • copyright
    • privacy
    • trademark
    • libel
    • free expresison
    • contracting.

  • Their framework is drawn primarily from existing United States law, largely because "that is the law that we know best."
