Experiences in Holland

• 1995 courses Computer Law by topic:– Inoduction/internet; IPR; computer contracts;

e-commerce; privacy; computer crime

• Died slowly with the fall of the stock exchange technology funds !

• Now CL is perceived as either we know it already, or just for specialists

• Our section computers and law now rather approach CL as a paradigm shift– Rationality– Technological driven– Management, business, market– Globalisation

– Management and IT ??– IT is an ´ordinary´ or common part of manaement

• Course for business laywers, interim lawyers etc.

• To add business skills and technology skills to their existing legal skills.

• And to relate these skills with legal developments

• Difficult to fill the class, and … they wanted a title ! (Master degree)

• Now we offer courses in the form of – Updates on traditional law fields– And we use case law for that– 1 day courses, or 0,5 day courses

• There is our difference with post graduate courses

• I can offer them dedicated for lawyers, for technicians and for business administrators

• An important target group, however, must be the law makers.

• Invest in understanding the information society

• Be modest with new legal initiatives

• And have the proper legal skills– (with a modest compliment to legal

informatics)
