Distinguished Faculty Lecture Series

Law in a Digital World: New Processes for an Age of Conflict and Change

Computers and the Internet have an impact on law far beyond such highly publicized issues as file sharing of music, censorship in China, and online pornography. Professor Katsh will discuss not simply how particular intellectual property or free expression cases should be resolved but how potential online civic institutions could protect the values and goals these legal doctrines enshrine. He’ll also consider new processes for dispute resolution and other cyber-mechanisms needed to protect the rule of law.

La presidencia del Comité de Honor ejercida por este destacado pionero se erige en un solido pilar del ODR 2010.

Esta verdadera autoridad internacional en el tema practica la interdisciplina siguiendo los pasos de Morin, Prigogine, etc. , con lo cual el Congreso se desarrollará a partir de paradigmas epistemológicos vigentes en el Siglo XXI.
