California privacy law is constantly evolving and leading the United States and other countries. In this course, you will be introduced to key aspects of U.S. Federal and California privacy law and explore this interesting field by working through cutting-edge research and writing assignments relating to my handbook, California Privacy Law - Practical Guide and Commentary, 4th Ed. 2020. No need to buy a copy of the book; I will make electronic copies of the manuscript available free of charge for editing and updating subject to a contributor agreement.

You earn one credit with this course. We will meet seven times for two-hour classes towards the beginning of the semester.

Throughout the course, you will work through reading, research, editing and writing assignments, as well as Quizzes, on which you will be graded. You will receive a grade based on research and editing assignments and contributions in class. There will be no in-class or take-home exam.

As a student in this class, you will
• complete 7 quizzes, one after each class
• read parts of the book California Privacy Law - Practical Guide and Commentary - Chapters 1 and 3-7, and within Chapter 2, specifically assigned subchapters (based on student interests)
• research specifically assigned California Privacy Law topics to prepare research summaries and update and edit book chapters to reflect new cases, statutes and legal developments after July 2020
