030142 KU Legal Informatics (2024S)

New technologies and globalisation profoundly change the legal system and the methodology. Whereas a course of about 6 semester hours would be sufficient to cover main topics, the team tries to provide a useful "first important step" into this broad range of subjects: Law and knowledge and network society, legal tech applications, AI & law - automatization in law (including legal logic, legal ontologies, formalisation of legal argumentation, automated text analysis, automated briefs with generic AI etc.); management of information technology and knowledge; legal databases and legal information; e-government; e-justice; e-democracy & e-participation; general part of ICT law, internet governance & telecommunications law; privacy, data governance & data protection; IP law; e-commerce law, e-government law, e-justice law, e-competition law, cybercrime, cybersecurity, digital evidence etc.
The course will be provided by a team of docents and lecturers.
As the list of topics is too long, a selection of most relevant and interesting topics will be agreed between docents and students at the begin of this lecture.
