Description

We all need to know about law and cyberlaw. Allow me to share some of my knowledge with you, in this short, free, mini-course. (If you are already enrolled in my full cyberlaw course, there is no need to enroll in this one).

This course is not for everyone! But it is right for some. It is academic type lectures, using my PowerPoint slides, my research, my brain, my skills (such as they are). There are no fancy graphics and no fancy video editing. It is not entertainment and you will need an attention span of at least ten minutes. Consider your personal preferences, and see a few sample videos before you decide if this is right for you. If you have a problem or need something, message me.

Why this course? I have learned about cyberlaw over the years. First prosecuting cybercrime, then in private practice. I teach students and professionals about law, technology, cybersecurity, cybercrime, and privacy. I've written books on the topic. It was time to share these materials with a broader audience and I already have other courses on Udemy.

I just built out a fuller course to align with my book on cyberlaw. But some learners need and appreciate a free resource, so this is it. Because this is a free course, it cannot exceed two hours, and that means I can only cover a certain amount of material.

Here is the outline (don't forget to download the handout with lecture 1 and see my resources webpage).

  • Course Introduction

  • Introduction to law

  • Entering the digital domain of cyberspace

  • Criminal cyberlaw

  • Civil law I, Traditional areas of civil law applied to cyberspace

  • Civil law II, Data law

  • International cyber conflict

  • Speech online

  • Organization management and compliance with cyberlaw

  • Conclusion and thank you

Law is for everyone and that means cyberlaw is too. It is not just for lawyers.

I present this valuable information to you for free, as my gift to you. If you see that it is valuable, as described, and find it worthy of a five star review or other expression of appreciation, thank you.

Building these courses is a hobby for me, I do not have significant video recording skills, nor hardly any video editing skills, and there is no production team. It's slide and lectures. This course has almost no editing, so you will hear my pauses and misspeaks, warts and all.

This is a shorter, free version of my full cyberlaw course. If you are enrolled in my full eleven-hour cyberlaw course, there is no need to enroll in this mini-course.

My 2025 book is: Cyberlaw: Law for Digital Spaces and Information Systems

Who this course is for:

  • Most any person interested in the intersection of law and technology
  • Those with a ten or twenty minute attention span and ability to sit through a no-frills lecture on each cyberlaw topic
  • This course is not for everyone but you can try out my lectures before enrolling. And money back if not satisfied (though a free course)
  • Those seeking information but not edutainment. I am not an entertainer, just trying to provide solid information and knowledge.
