COMPUTERS & THE LAW III is the only event to bring together computer
professionals, lawyers, and law enforcement officials. As computers
are utilized in more and more aspects of society, these three groups
are finding themselves interacting in new, untested ways. This
conference provides a forum, educational opportunities, and a means of
communication between these diverse fields. Sessions will be
presented on computer security, Internet censorship, cryptography,
copyright law, the history and future of computer crime, and more.
In addition to the conference and tutorials, this year COMPUTERS & THE
LAW III features an exciting tradeshow and exhibition. This is your
chance to see firsthand some of the products and services that will
shape the legal landscape of tomorrow's techonology.
This and more information are available via email at conference@sug.org
or on the World Wide Web at http://www.sug.org/conference.html

conference speakers and presenters.
TUTORIALS (Sunday, December 1 & Wednesday, December 4):
------------------------------------------------------
The tutorials at COMPUTERS & THE LAW III are full and/or half-day
classes featuring in-depth training on a range of subjects. Courses
are presented by skilled teachers who are hands-on experts in their
topic areas.
The tutorial program is divided into two days. Attendees may select
any non-overlapping set of classes. To ensure adequate seating and to
reduce crowding, we are requiring that registrants pre-register for
specific classes. Please note that some prior knowledge is required
for the advanced tutorials.
SUG's tutorial program is always in demand, and some tutorials are
almost guaranteed to sell out before advance registration closes.
Attendance is limited, and pre-registration is strongly recommended.
On-site registration is possible ONLY if space permits.
More complete information about each of the tutorials is available at
conference@sug.org or on the web at http://www.sug.org/CL3/talks.html
COMPUTER'S & THE LAW III TUTORIALS
Detailed descriptions of each tutorial are available by sending mail
to 'conference@sug.org'.
S1: "System Administrator Liability" (SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 9am-5pm):
Intructor: Edward Cavazos, Andrews & Kurth
This tutorial is ideal for the system administrator who is
faced with the perplexing legal problems posed by activities
related to overseeing a multi-user system which is connected
to the Internet. Increase your knowledge of the underlying
legal issues and the current thinking with regards to limiting
potential legal liabilities.
Topics covered include: E-Mail Privacy; Defamation Liability;
Copyright Law for the Sysadmin; Adult Materials; and more.
S2: "Basic UNIX Security" (SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 9am-5pm):
Instructor: Peter Galvin, Corporate Technologies
The emphasis of this class is on security basics -- the very
fundamentals to making a Unix system more secure. You will
learn essential elements of Unix security, including some
common threats, what to monitor in the file system, standard
publicly-available tools, and much more.
This course is targeted at new Unix administrators and
auditors, and those who have not had much background and
experience with computer security.
W1a: "Ethics & System Administration" (WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4,9am-noon):
Instructor: S. Lee Henry, TASC
Sysadmins find themselves increasingly involved in difficult
ethical dilemmas that pit security against privacy, and
threaten to disrupt the delicate balance between personal and
commercial interests. Join us for a highly interactive,
fast-paced, half-day tutorial that challenges and informs
system administrators.
W1b: "Prosecuting Network Intrusions" (WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1pm-5pm):
Instructor: John C. Smith, Santa Clara County D.A.'s office
The lead investigator from the Santa Clara county Computer
Crime Unit will lead students through actual cases of computer
crimes in Silicon Valley. Students will follow what has to be
done in an investigation, step by step, including the initial
reports that would be the basis of any search warrants or
restraining orders. Learn how to speed up an investigation by
learning to prepare reports and diagrams that can be part of a
request for a search warrant.
W2: "Advanced UNIX Security" (WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 9am-5pm)
Instructor: Matt Bishop, UC Davis
This course is designed for system administrators, system
programmers, and users interested in the underpinnings of UNIX
system security. Learn how to write programs which change
privileges of your users. Learn how to limit the damage from
computer worms, viruses, and hackers. While course S2 is
*not* a prerequisite, students should have an understanding of
the basic protection mechanisms of UNIX systems (real and
effective UIDs and GIDs, file protection modes, etc.).
GENERAL SESSIONS (Monday, December 2 & Tuesday, December 3):
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Computers & The Law" features three distinct parallel tracks of
talks: Technical; Legal; and Law Enforcement. All three track run
simultaneously throughout both days of sessions. Attendees may attend
any of the classes in any of the tracks and do not need to
pre-register for a track.
The TECHNICAL track will focus on nuts and bolts of maintaining a
networked system. These talks will cover the all of the newest
developments in the changing world of technology. There are talks
from the experts on: UNIX and network security; encryption; software
distribution in a client/server environment; firewalls.
The LEGAL track will cover up-to-date issues of privacy and morality,
as well as in-depth examinations of the current and changing laws
pertaining to software and hardware. Legal professionals from all
over the country will examine how changing technologies will
necessitate changes in the law.
The LAW ENFORCEMENT track discusses computers as tools. Tools which
can help in the preventing of crimes -- or in the committing of them.
Join our experts in high-tech crime as they discuss the discovery,
investigation, apprehension, and prosecution of crackers, software
pirates, and bandits on the information superhighway.
Here is a selection of some of the courses offered over the two days:
"Strong Privacy In the Computer Age"
"Basic Encryption Theory"
"Securing your Web Server"
"The publication torts: Liability for on-line defamation, invasion of
privacy and commercial appropriation."
"Cryptography Policy for the GII/GIS"
"Private Speech Restrictions in Cyberspace"
"Will the Internet Destroy Copyright?"
"E-mail Privacy and the UNIX Sysadmin"
