Securing Privacy in the Internet Age
What legal regimes or market initiatives would best prevent the unauthorized disclosure of private information while also promoting business innovation?
March 13-14 2004
Stanford Law School
The Law, Science and Technology Program (LST) and the Center for Internet and Society (CIS) at Stanford Law School will host a symposium next spring where more than twenty-five authors from across the globe will present papers addressing the ways in which application of various legal doctrines could induce software vendors, hardware companies and system administrators to adopt security-enhancing practices, report unauthorized disclosures of private information, and properly value and remedy harm flowing from privacy breaches, while promoting vigorous competition and innovation.
This Symposium is appropriate for anyone interested in developing a legal regime that better promotes computer security than our current one. The authors represent a wide variety of viewpoints: academics, policy makers, economists, advocates, and legal and corporate professionals, and we anticipate the audience will reflect this diversity as well. The authors are listed on the symposium website. Papers will be published in a scholarly volume that will be available in late 2004.
The Symposium Editors are: Margaret Jane Radin, Wm. Benjamin Scott and Luna M. Scott Professor of Law, Director, Stanford Program in Law, Science and Technology, Anupam Chander, Professor, UC Davis School of Law, Visiting Professor Stanford Law School, Spring 2004, and Lauren Gelman, Assistant Director, Center for Internet and Society, Stanford Law School.
