The course, will work through the legal issues that arise in the course of developing an e-commerce startup company. The course is divided into four modules. Following an introduction to e-commerce and technology finance issues, we will engage in four three-week modules — e-contracting, e-jurisdiction, privacy, and financing. The first class of each module will feature a substantive discussion of the key legal issues led by either Professor Geist or Chandler. The subsequent two classes will feature a panel of guest lecturers focusing first on policy issues and second on practical concerns. The course also features a webcast component with classes broadcast on the Internet. If you are interested in watching the classes in real-time or archived versions of past classes, see the course webcast page.
