Selected Publications
Full Vita (pdf)
- The Supreme Court’s Treatment of Privacy (working title). This book examines the Supreme Court’s apparently idiosyncratic treatment of privacy over the past 30 years and seeks to explain how, why, and when the Court extends protection to informational privacy and the factors that influence the Court’s reasoning. Research and release time for this book is funded by a $24,000 grant from The Privacy Projects, Seattle, WA. (with F.H. Cate) (in progress).
- “Still Crazy After All These Years: U.S. Intellectual Property Law and Its Impact on Higher Education” (working title), solicited by the Journal of College and University Law. This article analyzes developments in patent and copyright law over the past fifty years and the extent to which they have promoted or hindered research and teaching within higher education, and suggests certain reforms (in progress).
- “Legal Considerations in Phishing Research,” in Markus Jakobsson & Steven Myers, eds., Phishing and Countermeasures: Understanding the Increasing Problem of Electronic Identity Theft (Wiley 2007).
