Students will gain a broad knowledge of constitutional, civil, criminal, and related legal considerations that arise in the context of work or citizenship in an increasingly cyber\/digital world. \u00a0 Whether the student seeks a career in the public or private sector, the student will gain insight into both the limits and authorities on government or private sector activities, from the creation and protection of intellectual property, to the investigation of unlawful cyber activities, to the considerations of cyber operations in an increasingly dangerous world.\u00a0 This broadened awareness will help students successfully navigate and strengthen personal and professional choices as they move ahead.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The course consists of two broad themes in the digital world. The first half of the course examines various legal concerns that broadly affect citizens and private entities \u2013 from basic cybersecurity, freedom of expression, internet regulations, information-gathering and access to information, privacy, to intellectual property and other topics. The second half of the course examines legal authorities of, and limits imposed on U.S. government organizations and personnel (e.g., domestic law enforcement agencies) involved in cyber investigations. These inquiries encompass the U.S. Constitution and relevant laws, regulations, directives, and policies. The second portion of the course also introduces students to legal and policy concerns that arise in international cyber operations. Course content meets the National Security Agency\u2019s legal requirements for a Center for Cybersecurity Excellence in Operations designation, which ODU now holds.<\/p>\n
