Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

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.

Assessment and permitted materials

Legal informatics: multiple-choice tests + essay.
All tests are open book and on-site.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Discussion of technical and legal basics of law in the knowledge and network society.
The contents are too much for only a 2-hours lecture, thus - after consultation with students - a selection is performed. The knowledge should be mastered with support of materials (also online); decisive is the capacity to find answers to the main questions.
Standard good ICT knowledge (Windows, MS Office, Internet, etc.) is sufficient for participation.

Examination topics

Slides & materials of the various lectures, discussions; "blended learning" materials

Reading list

Script with extensive references + textbook, e.g. collection of main legal instruments and literature; all online via Moodle available.
