Computer Crime Casebook, 2nd Edition:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_05_31-2009_06_06.shtml#1243919184
I just wanted to flag for interested readers that the second edition
of my [1]Computer Crime Law casebook will be coming out sometime this
fall, and will be available for use in the Spring 2010 semester. The
book is keeping the same format and length, but it has many new cases
and covers the statutory changes since the 1st edition came out in
2006.
Parts of the book have been considerably rewritten in response to
new developments. For example, the materials on applying the Fourth
Amendment to computer networks are almost entirely new; I had to
replace the "what will this look like when courts get there?" approach
of the 1st edition with a "here's what the courts have said so far"
approach in the second. I think the only new section is a subchapter
dedicated just to the topic of encryption: It covers both the Fourth
Amendment and Fifth Amendment issues. I also plan to put together a
teacher's manual, but at this point I haven't yet written it.
If anyone is interested in using the book to teach from it, just let
me know and I'd be happy to talk you through how I approach the course
and what to cover. I should also add that a lot of people using the
book are adjuncts who are practicing lawyers, many current or former
computer crime prosecutors. You don't need to be a full-time law
professor to teach from the book. Anyway, sorry about the
advertisement; I just wanted to flag the new edition for those
interested.
