About the conference
Cyberspace, Internet and online activities have generated
fertile new ground for disputes and litigation. While
there are many concepts familiar to the experienced practitioner,
each area has its own quirks and requirements. In addition,
it is rapidly evolving both technically and legally.
This is the first of a series of practical legal workshops
run by the Baker & McKenzie Cyberspace Law and Policy
Centre at the UNSW Law Faculty to assist practitioners
to handle the range of cyberspace and Internet legal issues
and disputes. It is aimed at new or existing practitioners
interested in cyberspace law, and will cover how to handle
disputes in four topical areas:
- Domain names
- Online intellectual
property
- E-commerce
- Electronic privacy
In each area, you will be provided with a background
of the relevant laws, principles and legal frameworks
in the area, then we’ll explore the practical issues in
handling a dispute. We focus on a guide to the procedural
aspects of conducting a case, so we work through hypotheticals
and practical examples, and provide tips by our expert
speakers on how to manage a dispute for either party in
an effective way.
MCLE Units: whole day 6 units, half day 3 units.
