Call for Help : Open Data Norms, Standards and Law

[Pierrot Péladeau]

Hi,


Last week, UQAM asked me to create and teach a brand new course officially entitled Droit de l’information (Information Law), never offered before. This course is part of the LLB program, but is offered to students in all programs. Indeed, currently 12% of students enrolled are from Communications.

UQAM agreed on my proposal that the scope of the course be expanded into a sort of  ‘Information & Law’ course, almost and ‘Information Society and Law’ one that would explore:

• all of legal realities through the perspective of information and of an information society, and conversely,
• the realities of information and of information society as they are regulated by laws, norms and standards of all kinds.

As its starts on January 10 (!!!), I am now entering into a rush for the preparation of the course's huge content as I am not an expert in all the fields to be covered. Thus this call to open data aficionados about :

a) beyond access to information laws, what might be the Canadian and international legal and quasi-legal sets of norms that you would find interesting to be presented to students ;

b) interesting case studies to be submitted to them (fate of Canadian census' long form being clearly a good one) ;

c) same with interesting judicial cases.

And by the way, this new course was opened even though it did not technically have enough students enlisted, so if you know people who might be interested to join, please forward them the invitation and the little more information there is on this work-in-progress : http://ow.ly/3qZ8d


Thank you,

Pierrot Péladeau

Pierrot;

You may want to look at the syllabus of Scassa, Fewer, Geist, Kerr, Gervais and Judge here  - http://www.techlaw.uottawa.ca/en/programs/technology-law/home.html - Centre for Law Technology and Society.  There is also a new book out - http://traceyplauriault.ca/2010/08/18/book-chapter/ and there were some interesting papers and discussions here - http://www.righttoknow.ca/en/Calendar/events-all-e.asp.  Finally, http://citizenlab.org/ and the http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/.
