Navigating the digital-legal frontier.
The intersection of technology and law is transforming both fields, raising new questions about regulation, ethics, and practice. This rapidly evolving area spans privacy, intellectual property, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies like AI and blockchain. Researchers examine both how technology impacts legal frameworks and how legal tools can govern technological innovation, while exploring ways to enhance legal services through technology. Key focus areas include data privacy, information ethics, and the societal impact of new technologies.
