The Internet Law Program consists of online and classroom instruction.

Online Instruction

The online course component is offered a few weeks in advance of the classroom program and is designed to accommodate participants at all knowledge levels. While optional, it is recommended for those with a limited legal background. Participants can choose relevant course materials based on their interests and expertise. Discussion forums allow for structured weekly dialogue on relevant topics. The materials are accessible to all participants, even those not participating in the online discussions.

Classroom Instruction

The core segment of the program is an intensive series of lectures and discussions. During each of five days, participants will attend four 90-minute presentations designed to explore all aspects of contemporary Internet Law. View a sample schedule here.
