Description
We all need to know about law and cyberlaw. Allow me to share some of my knowledge with you.
This course is to help individuals and organizations learn about cyberlaw and all that entails. Law is everywhere, cyber is everywhere, so cyberlaw is now a part of our society and daily life.
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.
In January of 2025 I published my new book, Cyberlaw: Law for Digital Spaces and Information Systems, which I wrote to align with my teaching and thinking on the subject over the years. The book explains it and organizes it in the way that makes sense to me. After publishing the book, it was time to rebuild my cyberlaw course.
This online course has one module for each chapter in the book, and is backed by the same extensive resources of the book.
Here is the outline (don't forget to download the handout with lecture 1 and see my resources webpage).

Conclusion and thank you
Law is for everyone and that means cyberlaw too. It is not just for lawyers.
If you read this description and take the course, I hope you will see that the course meets and exceeds the description, with considerable quality and effort. If you see that, and feel it is worthy of a five star review, I would appreciate that to recognize my efforts.
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.
Revision note: This course started as a free (less than 2 hour course) which I then built into a full course after publication of my 2025 book, Cyberlaw: Law for Digital Spaces and Information Systems. Once it started to exceed 2 hours, it automatically converted to a paid course. The build out was completed on 4/6/2025 and is now an eleven hour course backed with free resources on my site. There is one lecture to parallel each chapter of my 2025 book on cyberlaw.
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
- Those seeking information but not edutainment. I am not an entertainer, just trying to provide solid information and knowledge.
