About Pace and this CLE
Pace University's law school is called The Elisabeth Haub School of Law, and I graduated from there in 2002. Now, I teach one course per year at the law school and one at the Seidenberg school of Computer Science and Information Systems.
Some enterprising folks at the law school provide a tremendous benefit for Pace Law Alumni -- periodic free CLE webinars -- and this presentation is a part of that.
Uniquely, this presentation was made available to the entire Pace U. community since it offers important information about law and cybersecurity which is valuable to both lawyers and non-lawyers. It is a pleasure to be a part of this program and to make this contribution to the Pace community.
