Description:
This course will consider how growing concerns about privacy and
national security will affect traditional First Amendment legal theory
and practice. We will examine significant court decisions and
statutory and regulatory schemes, such as the PATRIOT Act, as well as
international initiatives, such as the European Directive on Data
Protection and "The Right to be Forgotten." We will consider their
impact on U.S. law governing prior restraints, news gathering and
dissemination, access to courts and to government information, as well
as government surveillance and regulation of electronic
communications. In addition to participating in class discussions,
students will write and orally present a research paper on a relevant
legal topic selected in consultation with the instructor.
