Prof. Sharon Sandeen<\/p><\/div>\n

A new textbook co-authored by Professor Sharon Sandeen, director of Mitchell Hamline\u2019s Intellectual Property Institute<\/a>, is taking a big-picture approach to handling the reams and gigabytes of information that businesses collect and create on a daily basis, including issues related to intellectual property protection, privacy, data breaches, and government transparency.<\/p>\n

Sandeen worked with Elon Law Associate Professor David S. Levine<\/a> to write \u201cInformation Law, Governance, and Cybersecurity<\/a>,\u201d a 730-page textbook due out in August by West Academic Publishing. Both professors are noted national experts in information law, intellectual property law, and trade secrecy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe central reason for this book is the legal academy tends to be very siloed in terms of how we teach \u2018information law,\u2019 which is a fairly new label,\u201d Sandeen said. \u201cThe range of information-related problems that arise in businesses run the gamut. We wanted to write something that would give an overview of information law\u2014both the law itself and the practical means of dealing with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book is meant for both law students and information professionals. It seeks to teach the law, policies, and processes related to what is increasingly referred to as \u201cthe practice of information governance.\u201d In the book, Sandeen and Levine examine a wide range of information law topics, including information contracts, information torts, information privacy, government transparency, and cybersecurity. The book also examines information issues in various contexts, including law firms, litigation, and national security.<\/p>\n

Sandeen, who first met Levine a decade ago through their mutual research interest in trade secrets, said their complementary professional backgrounds as practicing attorneys allowed them to cover a lot of information-related topics and brings a practical dimension to the textbook.<\/p>\n

Levine said he and Sandeen are contributing something new to legal education and hope the book pushes law students and attorneys to think broadly about how information is collected, accessed, regulated, and used.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is truly the first of its kind,\u201d Levine said. \u201cWe\u2019re really trying to push lawyers to think of these things holistically.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
