NLJ this week: Lawyers in cyberspace

41403
There is no more a law of cyberspace than there is a law of the horse, US Court of Appeals Judge Frank H Easterbrook proclaimed a mere 25 years ago. The landscape had changed rapidly since then.

Writing in NLJ this week, Dean Armstrong QC and Paul Schwartfeger, of 36 Commercial, trace the history of cyber law, and address the questions of what is cyber law, what is its impact and what does the future hold?

From crypto-assets to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence to alleged sex bias in Apple algorithms, there is a wealth of legislation, case law and legal doctrine to explore.

Armstrong and Schwartfeger’s article is the first in a new NLJ cyber series.
