| Abstract | The Workshop and Lectures Series in Law and Economics is a joint seminar of ETH Zurich and the Universities of Basel, Lucerne, St. Gallen and Zurich.

| Learning objective | After the workshop and lecture series, participants should be acquainted with interdisciplinary approaches in law and economics. They should also have an overview of current topics of international research in this area. | ||||
| Content | The workshop and lecture series will present a mix of speakers who represent the wide range of current social science research methods applied to law. In particular, theoretical models, empirical and experimental research as well as legal research methods will be represented. This series is held each spring semester.

| Abstract | This course focuses on privacy in the Internet. We discuss the proper scope of privacy protection in the Internet and different regulatory approaches in the US, the EU, and Switzerland. We will also explore strategies to enforce privacy in the Internet through innovative legal strategies and “enforcement bots” (automated enforcement algorithms). | ||||
| Learning objective | The aim of the course is to 1) Introduce students to current regulatory approaches to Internet privacy (useful contextual knowledge especially for computer science students) 2) Introduce students to business models of Internet companies and their potential threats and benefits (useful contextual knowledge especially for computer science students) 3) Discuss policy questions surrounding Internet Privacy (stimulate critical thinking) 4) Explore the potential innovative enforcement ideas that combine technical/ legal techniques whose technical and legal viability has yet to be tested. There will be a number of experts giving short guest lectures introducing topics. These experts will also participate in subsequent discussions. This is a format where students witness and participate in the creation of new ideas and knowledge (students see science/scholarship in progress) The following guest lecturers (and potentially others) intend to participate: Florencia Marrotta-Wurgler (NYU Law School, Professor of Law, Co-Reporter, Third Restatement of Consumer Contracts, American Law Institute) Florent Thouvenin (UZH, Professor of Law, Information and Communication Law) David Basin (ETH, Professor of Computer Science, Information Security Group) | ||||
