Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course, we will read and discuss standard literature on law, innovation and society. Students will learn to identify important work on the intersection of law, innovation and society, and to critically reflect and discuss this literature. In each session one student will present and comment on academic work, for example Sheila Jasanoff’s work on „Constitutional Moments in Governing Science and Technology“ or chapters of Lawrence Lessig’s book on „Code and other Laws of Cyberspace“. Students may suggest an article or book; otherwise, they will be guided in finding important and interesting work. Every student presents one paper or book chapter, reads all the literature we are going to discuss in class and hand in three short written assignments.
