Guest Scholar:
Paul Schwartz
Professor of Law
University of California, Berkeley School of Law
Abstract:
Did everything change on 9/11? In this presentation, Professor Schwartz will discuss selected topics concerning the comparative regulation of telecommunications surveillance in German and U.S. law. He will discuss important recent German constitutional law opinions, including decisions that identify a new right to the integrity and security of computers and that places limits on the storage by companies of telecommunications information. Important legislation in Germany has also altered the previous organization of the intelligence services in Germany and given greater power to the Federal Criminal Police Office (the/Bundeskriminalamt). Important points of comparisons on the U.S.-side will be discussed.
