What am I up to? You mean like nownownow?

Teaching

I'm teaching at Drexel: LAW-110 American Legal Systems and a 200-level electives course, Law, Technology, and Regulation.

Law, Technology, and Regulation: This course serves as an introduction to the foundational concepts of intellectual property law and its intersection with emerging technologies. It examines the historical and evolving relationship between law and technological advancements, exploring how legal frameworks adapt to fields like publishing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cryptocurrency, biotechnology, and digital communications. Students analyze contemporary cases and policy debates to understand the opportunities and challenges technology poses to traditional legal principles. The course emphasizes critical thinking about the balance between innovation, regulation, and societal impact.

American Legal Systems: This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the American legal system and exposes students to the multiple forms of lawmaking and sources of legal and regulatory power present in America today. Students learn to differentiate between common law created by judges, statutes and laws created by the legislature, and regulations promulgated by executive agencies. The class explores the relationship between federal and state law, the role of federalism, and the legal underpinnings of checks and balances among the judicial, legislative, and executive branches. The course also examines the American system of litigation, the structure of the court system, the jurisdiction of federal and state courts, and the litigation process.
