Law School Courses in Computer/Internet/E-Commerce Law
While preparing a proposal for a summer in London program on International Information Technology Law, I conducted a survey of U.S. law schools that have courses on computer, Internet or E-Commerce Law. While the titles vary widely, there appear to be around 150 law school offering such courses, and a total of 296 different courses being offered. Of course, from the course listings it is impossible to tell in many cases whether a given course is being offered this year, and if not, when it was last offered. However, that is a significant number of courses at the vast majority of U.S. law schools. Maybe this field isn’t just a passing fancy after all!
Below is the list I came up with. I’d appreciate any corrections or additions to the list that you might know of.

Law Professor Michael Scott has compiled a list of U.S. law schools offering Computer, Internet, or E-Commerce Law courses. According to his post on Singularity, approximately 150 U.S. law schools offer a total of nearly 300 courses on those subjects. Clearly, e-commerce law is gaining ground as a recognized area of legal scholarship and practice.
