Also, public hearing on budget scheduled for Tuesday The Beacon school board agreed March 24 to a $60,000 payment to end a lawsuit filed by Daniel Glenn, a former South Avenue Elementary principal who was fired in 2023. Glenn, who is Black, alleged in a federal civil suit filed last year that he had been the victim of "disparate treatment and a hostile work environment due to his race." He asked for damages and to be returned to his job with back pay. After being hired in August 2021, Glenn said he told district officials in 2022 "that his job was permeated with racial discrimination on a continuous basis in the structure of how the school operated." He said he received no notice allowing him to contest allegations against him before being terminated in June 2023. Glenn had been removed from his position five months earlier, replaced by an acting principal, Brian Archer, then the district's director of evaluation and student services. Before coming to Beacon, Glenn taught first and second grade for 19 years in the Newburgh district and was an assistant principal in New Paltz. The district's response to his lawsuit, filed in June 2024, argued that there was insufficient evidence to "plausibly claim" that Glenn's dismissal was racially motivated. The district said the allegation that Superintendent Matt Landahl believed only the accounts of "unidentified teachers and students" whose racial identities were not named was "insufficient to allege discriminatory intent." The settlement agreement, obtained through a Freedom of Information Law request, notes that Glenn's employment record was amended to show he was not dismissed but resigned. The district also agreed to provide a neutral reference that provides only his title and dates of employment. For his part, Glenn agreed not to apply for employment in the district "until the end of time." The settlement was paid by the district's insurance carrier. Second lawsuit A lawsuit against the district that alleged a student was assaulted by a classmate at school and on the bus has been resolved, according to court records. In legal documents, a parent alleged the child had been "sexually abused," "falsely imprisoned" and "psychologically tortured" during the fall of 2022. The state judge held two settlement hearings before closing the case in July. In response to a Freedom of Information Law requested filed by The Current, school officials said the district "is not in possession of any documents" concerning a settlement. Eric Richman, the attorney who represented the parent, said he could not discuss the case because it had been sealed. Budget hearing The Beacon school board will hold a public hearing during its Tuesday (May 6) meeting on the district's $87.7 million budget proposal for 2025-26, the final step before voters are asked to approve the spending plan on May 20. On April 22, the board unanimously approved the $87.7 million plan, which includes a 5.09 percent tax-levy increase. Most of the discussion in recent board meetings has revolved around the levy - or the total amount of property taxes the district can collect - which stands to increase because of new development and debt service on a $50 million capital project approved last year by voters. The proposed revenue for 2025-26 includes $50 million in property taxes, about $32 million in state aid and $2.5 million taken from savings. Administrators said the budget will allow the district to maintain smaller elementary class sizes, increased mental health support for students and a full-day pre-K program. For the first time, the district would launch a summer workshop program for incoming high school students and create an on-site mental health clinic at Rombout Middle School. The district would also hire additional teachers for elementary students struggling in math and reading and a part-time elementary speech instructor.

On April 4, The New York Times reported that the European Commission is considering finding X, formerly Twitter, as part of its ongoing DSA investigation, which began in 2023. Tech Policy Press has discussed at length the extent and quality of transparency from platforms under the DSA, but there is limited insight into how the Commission is conducting its investigations into large online platforms and search engines. In most cases, the publicly available documents on cases are just press releases, while enforcement strategies and methods are not spelled out. To delve into the challenges this lack of transparency presents and how it impacts the public's understanding of the DSA, Tech Policy Press Associate Editor Ramsha Jahangir spoke to two researchers:Jacob van de Kerkhof, a PhD researcher at Utrecht University. His research is focused on the DSA and freedom of expression.Matteo Fabbri, a PhD candidate at IMT School for Advanced Studies in Lucca, Italy. Fabbri is also a visiting scholar at the Institute for Information Law at the University of Amsterdam. He recently published a research article titled "The Role of Requests for Information in Governing Digital Platforms Under the Digital Services Act: The Case of X."

In episode 26 of Recsperts, I speak with Sanne Vrijenhoek, a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam's Institute for Information Law and the AI, Media & Democracy Lab. Sanne's research explores diversity in recommender systems, particularly in the news domain, and its connection to democratic values and goals.We dive into four of her papers, which focus on how diversity is conceptualized in news recommender systems. Sanne introduces us to five rank-aware divergence metrics for measuring normative diversity and explains why diversity evaluation shouldn't be approached blindly—first, we need to clarify the underlying values. She also presents a normative framework for these metrics, linking them to different democratic theory perspectives. Beyond evaluation, we discuss how to optimize diversity in recommender systems and reflect on missed opportunities—such as the RecSys Challenge 2024, which could have gone beyond accuracy-chasing. Sanne also shares her recommendations for improving the challenge by incorporating objectives such as diversity.During our conversation, Sanne shares insights on effectively communicating recommender systems research to non-technical audiences. To wrap up, we explore ideas for fostering a more diverse RecSys research community, integrating perspectives from multiple disciplines.Enjoy this enriching episode of RECSPERTS - Recommender Systems Experts.Don't forget to follow the podcast and please leave a review(00:00) - Introduction (03:24) - About Sanne Vrijenhoek (14:49) - What Does Diversity in RecSys Mean?

City will pay $80K to terminate agreement St. Andrew & St. Luke Episcopal Church and the City of Beacon have agreed to end a lawsuit filed more than a year ago by the church over parking. The church sued in Dutchess County court in June 2023 over access to a city-owned lot where, according to St. Andrew, church employees and parishioners had parked for at least 30 years. The city had closed the lot days earlier when construction began on the adjacent central fire station. The settlement, obtained by The Current through a Freedom of Information Law request, was reached in July and filed this month. The city agreed to pay $80,000 to terminate a 1987 agreement between St. Andrew and the Lewis Tompkins Hose Co., the former owner of the lot. The church said the agreement guaranteed its use of the lot, and the city disagreed. The lawsuit was discontinued with prejudice, meaning it cannot be revived. Neither side admitted wrongdoing. The city bought the lot from the volunteer fire company in 2020 and opened it to the public. It is being used to store machinery and equipment for the $14.7 million station, which should be completed next month. According to the settlement, until the fire station parking lot is completed (it is being paved and striped for 52 spaces), parishioners may continue to use temporary parking provided by the city - a 22-space lot next to the fire station lot, along with on-street spaces on South Avenue and at City Hall that are reserved on Sundays. City Administrator Chris White said Wednesday (Sept. 11) that he expects the fire station lot to reopen for public parking by Sept. 30. Fishkill Creek proposal The City Council will hold a public hearing Monday (Sept. 16) on proposed changes to the Fishkill Creek development district that would allow the council to approve a certificate of occupancy for the residential portion of a project in the zone even if the commercial portion is unfinished. Since 2017, the council has required developments in the creekside district to include at least 25 percent commercial space, and for the commercial to be built before or at the same time as the residential. But Bernard Kohn, the owner of the development at 248 Tioronda Ave., asked the council in July to waive the requirement and let him construct a third apartment building because he has been unable to secure a commercial tenant. He also asked the council to permit certificates of occupancy to be issued for the 64 apartments that are finished. There's been "almost zero interest" in office space at the development, said Kohn, who has not constructed the commercial building. A public hearing on his first request was scheduled for Monday but has been canceled because Kohn has undertaken "more aggressive marketing efforts" to promote the space to commercial tenants, City Attorney Nick Ward-Willis said during the council's Sept. 9 meeting. White argued Sept. 9 that it would be counterproductive to deny Kohn's second request, for certificates of occupancy for the 64 completed apartments, which include six below-market-rent units and would generate $75,000 in tax revenue for the city, as well as water and sewer funds. But "the council didn't create this problem," said Council Member Dan Aymar-Blair. "The conversation you're having with us is the conversation you should be having with the developer" about why the project has not been completed. Kohn's requests prompted the council to draft amendments to the Fishkill Creek zone that would permit certificates of occupancy for residential buildings before commercial with "good cause." That public hearing will proceed on Monday. During the Planning Board's Aug. 13 meeting, its members objected to the proposed amendment, saying it undermines the mixed-use purpose of the zone. City Council members also seemed unsure. "This is going to be a way to skirt the law," said Aymar-Blair. "If we put this language in, everybody can build their residential projects and leave the non-residential unb...

The New York Times is suing the creator of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence bot the Times alleges was trained on millions of its copyrighted articles. It's not the only such lawsuit, but it is the biggest. What this all boils down to are questions that will determine the future of a technology that has the potential to change the world, for good or ill.How different are a human and a computer, when each is learning from example? As machines become able to mimic the creative endeavours humans have mastered, what compensation is owed to the creators they learned from? And can bots like ChatGPT even survive without free access to a world of copyrighted material?GUEST: James Grimmelmann, Tessler Family Professor of Digital and Information Law, Cornell Tech and Cornell Law School We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

A conservative Catholic organization in the U.S. has spent millions on data from dating and hook-up apps, and used that data to track and publicly out gay priests. We talk to Michelle Boorstein, a religion reporter for the Washington Post; and discuss how your data could be harvested and used with Teresa Scassa, a professor and the Canada Research Chair in Information Law and Policy at the University of Ottawa.

In this episode, we catch each other up on our lives: What did we spend January doing? We talk about New Years, spending time with family and friends back home, coming back to Madrid for our Economics exam, a trip to Gran Canaria... and so on and so forth. This has become a tradition: After every semester of our Journalism degree, we dedicate an episode to recapping the classes of the past months. Information Law, Documentary Film, Radio Journalism, etc. We had a wide range of classes this year. Some we liked more than others. Certain courses were a bit more challenging than others. And some completely destroyed us. And we're here to talk about it all! As always, we end this episode with a short bookclub session. Lauren still hasn't finished the book she started in November, but has instead started a new one called "The Vanishing Half". And Kristyna just finished a Swedish book that she really enjoyed. We hope you enjoy this conversation. Thanks for listening!

Before the pandemic, AI was growing in Canada. Throughout the pandemic, AI has exploded in Canada. Through working from home and online schooling to the abundance of location, health, medical, and interaction data around us at all times, the last half decade truly has witnessed institutions moving rapidly toward AI to make money, increase efficiency, trim fat, and perhaps even assist in finding new cures and vaccines.  And as you might imagine, there are serious rights, liberties, justice, ethics, and equality issues that pop up along the way. So, how does a country insulate itself from such dangers? Through regulation, but easier said than done...  Join us as we chat with the distinguished Dr. Teresa Scassa, Canada Research Chair in Information Law and Policy at the University of Ottawa, an award winning author, a recognizable expert across numerous Canadian media outlets - and a fantastic Ad Lib'er to boot.  As you'll hear, the move toward regulating AI in Canada has been anything but clear...

New York State's Freedom of Information Law is designed to protect the public's right to know and to enable journalists and members of the public to obtain records from municipalities, police departments and other government agencies. However, the law is often vague and lacks teeth, which makes it easy for agencies to turn down, ignore or slow walk valid FOIL requests while rarely facing consequences. Journalist Charles Lane of the Institute for Access to Public Information joins the editors this week to discuss his recent FOIL lawsuit against Southampton Village, why FOIL is important to government transparency and accountability, and how the law could be improved to make it more effective and difficult to circumvent.

Super fun conversation with a great attorney and wonderful guy. Life lessons - winning in business and in life. https://www.mazeklaw.com/ Michael Mazek has had a passion for the legal profession since childhood, when he began managing rental properties for his Polish-immigrant parents as a teenager. This early entry into the Chicago landlord-tenant marketplace gave Mazek a unique perspective on the law. He saw that non-native English speakers and immigrants had a disadvantage in court. He also recognized that affordable housing is central to any municipality's success. His path into the legal profession was spurred by these inequalities. So after attending Chicago public schools from kindergarten through high school, Mazek graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a B.A. in English-Writing and a minor in Linguistics. During his time at UIC, Mazek was the recipient of the prestigious Edward Moskal Journalism Scholarship. He then earned his J.D. from The John Marshall Law School, where he was a member of the noted law review, The Journal of Computer and Information Law. In 2009, Mazek launched his private boutique firm, Mazek Law Group, to provide high quality legal representation at affordable rates. The practice is located in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago, and handles cases in the suburbs, Chicago and collar counties. Mazek represents clients in the areas of real estate transactions (real estate closings, short sales, foreclosures and more), real estate litigation (adverse possession, lot line disputes, condo association conflict), estate planning (wills, trusts and other estate planning instruments), probate, criminal defense (federal criminal defense, state criminal defense, traffic, DUI and more) and bankruptcy (consumer, Chapter 7, Chapter 13). Mazek has given presentations for real estate offices and attorneys. He is a regular contributor to The Norton Annual Survey of Bankruptcy Law. He lives in Edison Park (Chicago), Illinois.

Nov. 2, 2021 - David Schulz, a media law attorney, who serves on the state Committee on Open Government, discusses his vision for the future of the state's transparency laws, including a hybrid model of the Open Meetings Law and updates to the Freedom of Information Law that acknowledge the 21st century.

The Empire Club of Canada Presents: How Canada's Changing Privacy Landscape Will Impact Business, Consumers, and You The Government of Canada's proposed changes to Canada's existing national privacy framework (Bill C-11) died on the Order Paper when the election was called. The need for modernization and a national approach have not changed. Given the opportunity to update that plan, how should the new Parliament act to best protect the personal information of individuals while recognizing the need of organizations to collect, use or disclose personal information during commercial activities? Practically speaking, how might those changes impact some of the modern conveniences we have come to take for granted as individuals, consumers and businesses. Our panel of experts provided their diverse point of views on the many legal and practical implications of privacy reform in advance of the debate heating up again this fall. Moderator: Alex Benay, Global Lead, Government Azure Strategy, Microsoft Speakers: Vass Bednar, MPP, Executive Director, Master of Public Policy in Digital Society Program McMaster University Éloïse Gratton, Partner & National Co-Leader, Privacy and Data Protection Group, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP Dr. Teresa Scassa, Canada Research Chair in Information Law and Policy, University of Ottawa, Faculty of Law *The content presented is free of charge but please note that the Empire Club of Canada retains copyright.

A fiscal watchdog group is using the Freedom of Information Law to try to get New York state’s health department to release more detailed data on the over 42,000 New Yorkers who died during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, our political observer Dr. Alan Chartock shares his thoughts on the NYC Board of Elections. At a rally, last weekend outside the governor’s mansion in Albany, activists and elected officials demanded an increase in clemencies granted to the incarcerated.

Cost and the unlikelihood of either legislative or political priority have been given as reasons not to introduce a full Freedom of Information Law, with Scrutiny instead suggesting a model that would expect - but not compel - the States to answer valid requests for public information.The Committee is recommending that the current Code on Access to Public Information is "strengthened" expediently at no added cost through an independent appeals process.We sat down with the Scrutiny President Yvonne Burford and Committee Member Simon Fairclough to debate those proposals...

In this latest episode, CIPE's Anti-Corruption & Governance Center features Hasna Munas, an analyst for Verité Research, Sri Lanka’s leading independent think tank. She tells an insider's story of the development of Sri Lanka’s first-ever Right To Information (RTI) law five years ago. Since then, the law has become known as one of the best RTI laws in Asia and the basis for Verité Research's groundbreaking new website, BudgetPromises.org, a one-stop shop for citizens, visitors, and businesses to hold Sri Lanka’s government accountable for how it spends money through an easily understandable visual format. The podcast is hosted by CIPE Asia Regional Director John Morrell and Communications Director Ken Jaques.

Canada's privacy laws have been pilloried by experts for years as unfit for the digital age. The government recently introduced a new bill aimed at bringing the privacy regime into the 21st century. That law, C-11, could see a fundamental reset of the existing framework. University of Ottawa professor Teresa Scassa, who holds the Canada Research Chair in Information Law and Policy, joins The Hot Room to walk us through the key issues. 

Dr. Balázs Bodó, researcher at the Institute of Information Law at the University of Amsterdam, describes 3 dimensions of “technology-mediated trust”. The known and unknown risks of new technologies, how we interact with these technologies, and whether they are trustworthy. Global institutions – moving at a slow pace - have failed to establish trust that they are capable of handling worldwide challenges like climate change, mass human displacement, and global pandemics, or other forms of crises. This lack of international leadership leads to a trust crisis. The emergency of new technology platforms – or “trust mediators”- facilitate coordination and establish trust between strangers through various methods. Platforms, such as Uber, or Airbnb manage reputations; blockchain technologies try to minimize the need for trust; AI systems promise to reduce future uncertainties. Balázs touches on the relationship between risks and trust and the “costs of trust”. He contrasts technologies where trust was verifiable, such as the workings of nuclear reactors, and digital technologies where it is much more difficult to establish their trustworthiness. Unlike global organizations and governments, technological trust mediators may be able to establish trust among users, but we must think about how they can do it in a verifiable and trustworthy manner.

In the Cayman Islands, any individual holds the right to request information of government and public authorities. This right first came into effect in January 2009 through the Freedom of Information Law, later amended in 2018 to include data protection considerations.This freedom provides not only an important tool for journalists interested in government accountability, but it also empowers members of the public to access records and their own personal information.To further understand this right and the minimum expectations set out by law, the Cayman Compass spoke with the Ombudsman office, the entity entrusted with FOI conflict resolution and ensuring access to this right.Ombudsman Sandy Hermiston and Deputy Ombudsman Jan Leibars explain some basics of the law and how to navigate information requests.

In addition to being an Author, she is also a Singer/Songwriter, a Speaker, Teacher and Attorney based in Texas.   Singer/Songwriter: Emem Washington is known for her powerful vocals, incredible songs that she regularly performs all over America along with her music being aired on various radio stations. Having been part of her church choir and leading worship teams for several years she decided to take her talent to the studio, working with producers in Houston and Atlanta. If you love music by TobyMac or Hollyn, Israel Houghton or Mandisa, then you will LOVE her debut album ‘Rebirth.’ It is a MUST HAVE for anyone searching for songs of hope with a unique sound.   Speaker/Teacher: Emem’s speaking has allowed her to appear on numerous local, national and international platforms including schools, seminars and conferences. She has spoken at conferences such as the Flourish Media Conference, the Just Do It Women’s Conference in Belize, Talent Ignited (where she served as Keynote Speaker) and PublisHER Author Conference, to name a few. She also hosts her own conferences and workshops locally in Houston, Texas called “Leading Ladies Events” where women are inspired and motivated to uncover their purpose and discover the vital steps necessary to live their purpose out fully and turn their dreams into reality. The topics are the perfect balance of practical and inspirational, and she shares from her heart, blending her legal, entrepreneurial, familial and spiritual experiences into real and relatable advice and encouragement. She has a special way of connecting with, and bringing together, people from different walks of life.   Advocate: Emem is innately an advocate, which led her to become an attorney in 2002, after graduating with a B.S. in Biology (Chemistry minor). She later went back to school to obtain an LL.M in Intellectual Property and Information Law. While she is grateful for the knowledge that her legal education has provided, she has decided to transition from legal practice and focus more on advocacy beyond the just the legal arena.   Overcoming Challenges/Faith: She has lived through several major difficult life situations, including 2 miscarriages and 2 stillbirths, fibroid surgery and being told she would no longer be able to conceive and now she now has two healthy pre-teen sons. She has also been through a failed marriage, been a single mother and experienced foreclosure (to name a few). Through God’s grace and mercy He has turned her mourning into dancing and has turned her sorrow into joy. She is now a happy wife and mother, and she uses those life lessons to encourage and equip others to give up the stagnant, mediocre, suppressed life and to lead vibrant “truly alive” lives.   She has strong faith in God, which has enabled her to keep her smile in the midst of trials, and to help others to move beyond their setbacks and towards making their comeback. One of her favorite quotes (from her song “Flip the Page”) is “No matter what it looks like right now, YOUR STORY IS NOT OVER. Flip the Page.” What Emem does in her spare time: Emem loves music, reading and spending time with family and friends. She also enjoys attending purposeful events and volunteering.   What’s next for Emem Washington? In 2019 Emem Washington hopes to impact another 50,000 people through Social Media and continue to use her voice to impact lives. She also plans to continue to support various causes that are dear to her heart such as the Amos House of Faith as well as missionaries (through her church). She will also organize more of her “Leading Ladies” events especially as many women have raved about her events, calling describing them as excellent, inspiring and powerful.

Professor Litman, John F. Nickoll Professor of Law at the University of Michigan, delivered the thirteenth Annual International Intellectual Property Lecture (funded from the Herchel Smith Bequest) at Emmanuel College entitled 'Copyright and Property-Think' on 13 March 2018 as a guest of CIPIL (the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law). Professor Jessica Litman is the John F. Nickoll Professor of Law at the University of Michigan, where she teaches copyright law, trademark law, and advanced IP courses. Litman is the author of Digital Copyright and the co-author, with Jane Ginsburg and Mary Lou Kevlin, of the casebook Trademarks and Unfair Competition Law: Cases and Materials. She is an adviser for the American Law Institute's Restatement of Copyright, and has served as a trustee of the Copyright Society of the USA, and chair of the Association of American Law Schools Section on Intellectual Property. In this year’s lecture, she will argue that when we think about the copyright system, our assumptions about legal property rights shape what we see and what we don’t. We assume that broadening or narrowing the scope of copyright will redound to the benefit or detriment of creators. Three hundred years of evidence, though, belie that supposition. We need to think more concretely about copyright law's actual effect on creators, and their ability to communicate and profit from their works.

Institute of Advanced Legal Studies Information Law and Policy Centre's Annual Conference 2017 Children and Digital Rights: Regulating Freedoms and Safeguards Keynote address Chair: Dr Nora Ni Loideain Baroness Bedban Kidron OBE

In an environment where we now receive much of our news and media content via mobile and social media platforms, information lawyers and regulators are having to work hard to keep up. Libel trials and privacy superinjunctions are giving way to data privacy and fake news as the big legal issues of the day and English law increasingly needs to be considered alongside international law to be of practical relevance to commercial decision making, particularly for global tech players like Facebook and Google. This talk by Ashley Hurst, a media and tech litigation partner at the international firm Osborne Clarke, is a chance to gain an insight into how new digital trends are shaping our laws and regulations and how the world's leading tech companies and start ups are adapting to these changes. It will cover issues such as the GDPR and growth of data privacy, complex issues of intermediary liability, fake news, the Digital Single Market, and the general clash between innovation and freedom of expression on the one hand and reputation and privacy on the other. Ashley will also be happy to answer your questions about digital media law and becoming a digital media lawyer in today's legal market. The Cambridge University Law Society (CULS) is one of the oldest and largest student run societies in the University, the country and indeed the world. With a membership base of over a 1000, its aims are manifold and its enterprises diverse. Each year, the Law Society invites eminent speakers to address its members. The events are an exciting chance to hear from leaders in their respective fields about issues crucial to the modern legal world. In the past CULS have had the pleasure of hearing from such distinguished speakers as Justice of the Supreme Court, The Right Hon Lord Clarke of Stone-cum-Ebony; Master of the Rolls, Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury and former President of the International Court of Justice, Dame Rosalyn Higgins. This event was kindly supported by Osborne Clarke. For more information see the CULS Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/camlawsoc/

Stephen J. Schulhofer, of New York University, gave an evening seminar entitled "Cross-Border Challenges to Data Privacy" on 17 March 2017 at the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law as a guest of CIPIL (the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law) and LCIL (Lauterpacht Centre for International Law). Stephen J. Schulhofer, the Robert B. McKay Professor of Law at New York University, is one of America’s leading scholars of criminal justice. He has written more than 50 scholarly articles and seven books, including the leading casebook in the field, and widely cited work on many criminal justice and national security topics. His most recent book, Surveillance, Privacy and Transatlantic Relations (Hart, 2017) (with David Cole & Federico Fabbrini) examines the multiple challenges to democracy and privacy as well as to national security and global economic development posed by technological advance and pressures for effective responses to transnational terrorism. His book More Essential Than Ever: The Fourth Amendment in the Twenty-First Century (Oxford University Press, 2012) provides a comprehensive analysis of Fourth Amendment history and current legal doctrine, along with discussion of contemporary problems concerning searches, electronic surveillance, and the intersection between national security needs and the right to privacy. His journal articles address counterterrorism, police interrogation, drug enforcement, indigent defense, plea bargaining, and many other criminal justice matters. Schulhofer’s current projects include analyses of national security secrecy, the right to privacy in electronic communications, and an empirical study of the impact of counterterrorism policing on immigrant communities in New York and London. Previously, Schulhofer taught at the University of Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his BA at Princeton University and his JD at Harvard Law School, both summa cum laude. He then clerked for two years for US Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black and practiced law for three years before beginning his academic career.

How European citizens who feel their data protection rights have been violated should expect to proceed through the appropriate European agencies and courts. The so-called 'Safe Harbor', how it benefited U.S.-based tech companies, and how the 'Schrems Case' led to its undoing following Edward Snowden's revelations about the U.S. National Security Agency's (NSA) spying program. The aftermath following the European Court of Justice's decision to strike down the Safe Harbor. How the "right to be forgotten", "data protection by design" and "data protection by default" will play a role in the EU's data protection rules going forward.
