  1. Tech law syllabus

Class 01

  1. Create a list of 100 potential future technologies. (If you use any sources, cite them.) Bring a printed copy to class.

  1. Reflect on how you solve problems. Create a flow chart showing your problem-solving process.

  5. Read Ben W. Heineman, Jr., William F. Lee, and David B. Wilkins, Lawyers as Professionals and as Citizens: Key Roles and Responsibilities in the 21st Century (pages 9 to 16 only).
  6. Read Questions for the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy.
  7. Create a vignette for class: Prepare a talk that, in no more than 60 seconds, presents an issue to your colleagues. The issue can be a topic, a challenge, or an opportunity. For example, "Covid-19" is a topic, "South Carolina's vaccine rate is too low" is a challenge, and "Can we use what we've learned during the pandemic to reduce the impact of other diseases such as the flu?" is an opportunity. The issue does not need to be legal in nature (although it can be). It does need to be understandable and otherwise accessible to your colleagues -- and your talk should provide the information necessary for your colleagues to meaningfully analyze it. You should also be prepared to answer any questions your colleagues pose about the issue.
  8. Read Sidewalk Manual (created by the 2021 Technology Law class).
  9. Read Rules of the Sidewalk (the instructions I gave to the 2021 class).
