LAW 484: Privacy and Free Speech Online

Privacy and free speech values frequently conflict. Protecting one individual's privacy often requires preventing another's speech. The Internet has created significant opportunity for users to express themselves in chatrooms, on the web, and through new social network applications. With this increased expression has come increased disclosures of personal information that may be saved, searched, and republished. Courts are currently grappling with the privacy- speech tension in cases where individuals as opposed to media institutions are the publishers of personal information about themselves and others and where people are publishing information on public networks but intended for limited groups of readers. This seminar explores the tension between protecting privacy and free speech online, with specific emphasis on the legal rules and social norms around user initiated communications and social networking and other web 2.0 applications.

It examines the basic legal doctrines and social issues which define this field, and will address the process of trade secret litigation.

The more recent and still active movements include Law and Moral Philosophy, Law and Economics, Critical Legal Studies, Feminist Jurisprudence, Public Choice Theory, and Neo-formalism. The readings are drawn primarily from primary materials ¿ the important contemporary manifestos and critiques of the schools of thought studied, along with writings that involve their application or reveal their influence.

How much should law be bound up with other intellectual disciplines? What should legal education be like?

LAW 505: Educational Inequality

(Same as EDUC 379X). This class examines the issue of inequality in primary and secondary education, particularly with respect to race and socioeconomic status. It distinguishes between inequality in terms of inputs versus outputs, presenting the empirical evidence about each and the relationship between the two. The course also explores the history of legal and policy responses to persistent inequality, in particular the controversies surrounding Brown v. Board of Education and subsequent cases related to achieve racially integrated public education, as well as efforts to achieve equitable education through school finance reforms. The course considers the challenge of contemporary educational inequality and surveys the competing policy approaches, from increased and redistributed funding and efforts to improve instructional quality, to centralized accountability and testing and market based solutions such as vouchers and charter schools. Throughout, the class considers the role of law in facilitating or impeding desirable reforms, and reflect upon the practical question, in light of political impediments and constraints, of how a lawyer or social scientist might best move our nation toward a more just and less unequal educational system.
