LAW 6924 - Capstone: Cybercrime

Institution:

University of Dayton

Subject:

Law

Description:

This course includes a collaborative venture, the Cybercrimes Course Collaboration (the lab), conducted in conjunction with UD¿s Criminal Justice Program. In the lab portion of the course, law students will engage in intensive legal research and production of an in-depth paper relating to the investigation and prosecution of cybercrime. Students will be developing professional skills of legal writing for non-lawyers, including law enforcement personnel; collaboration with others involved in the investigation and prosecution of cybercrimes; and rigorous legal research and writing. Under the guidance and supervision of the professor, the students enrolled in the course would research discrete state law governing the following issues: (i) the investigation of cybercrimes, which would include computer search and seizure, electronic wiretapping and eavesdropping, transborder and network investigations; (ii) the prosecution of cybercrime, which would focus on specialized cybercrime offenses like hacking and on how more generic offenses, such as theft, can be used to prosecute cybercriminals; and (iii) digital evidence, which would focus on how traditional evidentiary rules such as hearsay and the best evidence rule are applied to digital evidence. Working with the professor, the students would use their research to create deskbooks or guides to state law on various issues. Credit Type A.
