Section Description
This workshop introduces students to the cutting-edge scholarship in the field of law and technology. It brings to Columbia leading scholars working on a range of topics in the intersection of law and technology to present their scholarly work in progress to the students and faculty. Students will analyze these papers and engage in a discussion with the authors. Typically, we will spend the first part of each seminar session discussing the paper among the students, including its methodology as well as how the topic fits within the broader literature in the field. This discussion is led by a group of students who first introduce the key research question, methodology, as well as main conclusions and implications. Other students will then share their critique of the paper. For the second part, the author of the paper will join the class for a presentation and a conversation. Other law faculty and members of the Columbia community are invited to join this second part of the seminar.
