Thinking back to my grad school days … all research must or should begin with a review of the literature (otherwise known as the synopsis of all the work that has been done on the subject before you). Since information privacy law is so new, I wasn’t really sure where to begin that review. As a shortcut, I decided to look at what the top laws schools are teaching on the subject. The results didn’t really surprise me. Of the top sixteen law schools only six have a stand alone information privacy law course. Of those six, four of the courses were seminars. Another two of the top sixteen had privacy law courses that included a section on information privacy. Another one had a computer law course that touched on privacy law but not information privacy law. The rest had nada, or nothing I could find on their websites. As expected it appears that much of what is happening in the practice area is being done as I write, contemporaneously. No sweat … time to dust off my old (but hopefully not too outdated) IPL hornbook.,
