4. Course Objectives:
Information and Communication Technology is a novice branch of law which is fast,
schematic, futuristic and that has touched all walks of human life. The virtual world of
computers and Internet is dynamic, invigorating and expands into new paradigms; that is
popular with the name of Cyberspace. Information Technology Law provides a systematic
legal framework for collecting, storing, disseminating, and regulating electronic information
in the cyberspace. The subject of Information Technology Law provides the knowledge of
techno-legal aspects of a dispute. A Techno-legal lawyer is more effective at explaining
technical concepts to a judge or jury, and he or she will likely have contacts within the
industry that make finding consultants and expert witnesses less difficult.
