Starting next week, I’m going to be guestblogging over at Balkinization about the emerging academic field of computer crime law. I’m presently writing a casebook on computer crime law for West Publishers, and working on the casebook has pushed me to think a lot about the field and its prospects. While I may be delusional, or just overly optimistic, my instincts tell me that computer crime is going to develop into an upper-level elective offered at most or all law schools within a decade or so. I’ll be blogging about the basic themes of the course, why it will become more important over time, and why it will help eclipse more general courses in “cyberlaw.” I may also blog about some other topics if the mood strikes me. In any event, stop by if you’re interested.
