Associate Professor of Busines Law, Florida International University, North Miami, Florida INTRODUCTION Because of the need for legal studies educators to inform their students about legal issues that have attended the rapid growth in the use of computers, it is important to include a unit dealing with Computers and the Law into the curriculum. This can supply students with pertinent legal information concerning contracts involving computers. provide a more detailed approach to the legal protection of intellectual property, and give insight into the legal developments in the law as it concerns computer abuse. While a course in Business Law would be the most appropriate subject in which to house a unit on Computer and the Law, other courses in legal studies could very well include such a unit. Because of the increase in majors in Management Science and Systems concentrating upon computer use in decision science, a unit on Computer and the Law would deal specifically with issues which are important to such career objectives. Although the scope of this article is to assist the professor in designing a Computer Law unit for the traditional Business Law course, the subject matter could be enlarged to satisfy a more expanded curriculum need. Thus, where computer-related courses are housed in schools other than in Colleges of Business Administration, a Computer Legal Problems course could be offered by the Department of Legal Studies within the College of Business Administration as a service course to enhance these studies. Thus, Computer Science majors within Math Departments in Colleges of Arts and Sciences. Computer Education majors planning to teach computer literacy in elementary and secondary programs, and students studying the more technical aspects of computers within the colleges of Engineering, as well as the Management Science and Systems majors within the College of Business 2.
