Due to the large number of students enrolled in a topic that relates to law and technology the Director of Research Students has established a law and technology discussion group. One of its members and a new PhD supervisor is Dr David Cowan from Maynooth University. He is about to publish a book titled Law and Technology from Bloomsbury Professional. The book description states:
‘By providing an accessible and holistic approach to law and technology issues, this book will guide practitioners through the technological challenges facing them both in their working practices and in the matters they handle. Law and Technology will help on both a practical and theoretical level, and will give practitioners line of sight of the technology challenges ahead. Students, and those undertaking further professional training, will find all the major issues are examined.
Law and Technology 'lays the groundwork for a discipline of Law and Technology and is an authoritative text for practitioners and a range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional courses in the discipline'. The author examines the field in three dimensions: the law of technology, the technology of law and the impact of technology on the core legal disciplines.
This event will be essential for our students researching in this field as it will provide a theoretical context for their work on law and technology, building from our Masterclasses in Law series. It will also interest academics and practitioners in the field.
