Law and Technology Option

The Faculty of Law offers students the opportunity to be recognized for taking a compliment of technology law courses throughout their degree. There are specific courses that must be completed and a form must be submitted (see attached form here) to academic services. You must also complete your major paper requirement in one of the technology law courses as recognized by the option. 

 

The second function of the option is to act as a guideline of sorts to assist students in choosing courses that interest them in the related field of law and tech. There is no requirement to complete the option, but rather, for example, if you are interest on the business side of things taking courses in Competition Law, Intellectual Property, combined with Secured Transactions and Commercial Law provide a pertanient balance to tackling e-commerce, digital business and transactional business assests. You can always talk to professors, the academic advisors and other students about what balance you think best suits you!
