Data Law in a Global Digital Economy

This NYU Law Review symposium in November 2018 examined how law does, should, or can affect data ownership, concentration, and control in a global digital economy. We took a conceptual approach to the law of data by confronting emerging issues in the law of the global data economy through analyses grounded in foundational legal concepts such as contracting, torts, property, and trusts/fiduciary law.
