The Technology & Cyberlaw Clinic represents MIT and BU students who run into legal issues with their academic and innovative work. Since the clinic launched in September, they’ve worked with dozens of students at MIT with their legal issues, and in this class they will go over some common legal issues that we see, and how you can navigate them to effectively research, experiment, publish, and share your work.

Some of the issues they will go over include:

  • intellectual property
  • hacking laws
  • data privacy
  • FOIA and public records
  • academic freedom and the law

They’ll also solicit other topics from the group. Discussions and presentations will be lead by the student attorneys in the Technology & Cyberlaw Clinic, as well as the clinic’s director, Andy Sellars, who previously co-taught IAP classes on reverse engineering and coders’ rights.
