IN SITU 2020

The Summer School IN SITU 2020 offers a three and a half week academic training in Information Technology Law (IT Law) and is organized by the Institute of Legal lnformatics (IRI) at the Leibniz University Hannover. IN SITU has a long tradition and this is already its 12th edition.
The academic curriculum of IN SITU 2020 is divided into different thematic blocks which cover the most important areas of Information Technology Law. The first block encompasses introductory lectures which lay the foundation for the later sessions that cover more advanced legal questions. The second block provides insights into different specific fields of IT law while the third aims mainly at exploring the connection between IT law and intellectual property law.

The summer school is held entirely in English. Though no prior proof of language proficiency is required, students are expected to have sufficient English knowledge to participate actively in the lectures and the leisure programme.
