Privacy, Technology and the Law – February 21, 2015
Symposium Overview
The “Privacy, Technology and the Law” symposium took place on Saturday, February 21, 2015 at the University of Michigan Law School. This symposium brought together a diverse set of perspectives on privacy and technology for the discussion of an important topic at a critical time in the development of the surrounding legal doctrines. The symposium included three distinct discussion panels. Each panelist gave a short presentation, followed by a question and answer session.
The first panel addressed theories of privacy in light of how the emergence of “Big Data” has changed our societal norms and challenged the way in which the law treats private actors with respect to privacy issues.
The second panel addressed how the privacy laws in other countries have responded to the problems posed by new technological advances, and how the relationship between domestic and foreign privacy regimes has affected an increasingly global economy.
The third panel addressed the ways in which technological advances have challenged our criminal procedure and Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, and have posed new problems for law enforcement officials.
