You heard it here first, folks. Jason Schultz will be teaching the Cyberlaw course at Boalt Hall this spring. Jason's an attorney and awesome litigator at the EFF and also Boalt alum (not to mention that he blogs it up at LawGeek and Copyfight). It's amazing how fast the material for this kind of course can change... for a peek, check out the syllabus of the year I took the course in Fall 2002 from Pam.
Now, I've been taking some great classes this semester and one I like a lot is Molly Van Houweling's IP course at the law school. Molly was formerly the president of Creative Commons and her lectures are accordingly hip. I sure as hell never new how fascinating things like the doctrine of equivalents and res judicata were. I even had the opportunity to use my astrophysics background (I explained how elements are formed by fusion in supernovae explosions).
Finally, I'll be the reader for Pam's course next semester, "Legal and Policy Challenges Posed by Peer to Peer File Sharing & P2P Technology". We'll have a syllabus available soon, so if you're interested in what we'll be reading, stay tuned. We're both excited about getting students from a variety of backgrounds - SIMS, Law, Public Policy, Economics, Computer Science, etc. - and actually critically thinking about the complexities and possible resolutions of the p2p wars. Maybe I could even talk her into using a blog for offline discussion. (You do know that Pam has a feed for her papers page, right?)
