Symposium to Explore Information Privacy

The Virginia Journal of Law and Technology (VJoLT) and McGuire Woods are hosting a symposium to address the myriad legal issues that arise when technology and privacy collide. Scheduled for Friday, Feb. 8, in Caplin Auditorium, the conference features scholars from the Wharton School and the University of Ottawa, and an attorney from Proskauer Rose, who will speak on child predator laws and Facebook, the conflict between personal privacy and national security, and data-breach notification law.

The symposium will conclude with a practitioners' panel featuring Ken Dort, partner at McGuireWoods, Gary Friedlander, vice president and division general counsel at TransUnion, and Andrew Wiederhorn, assistant general counsel at Capital One. The panel will provide an interactive forum for attendees to ask questions of the practitioners about their experiences and allow an opportunity to raise questions that have not been probed in previous sessions throughout the day.

VJoLT was established in 1996 by students who sought to engage the Law School on issues arising from the intersection of law and technology.
