NYU Cyber Security Awareness Week: 2017 Law and Policy Competition

The NYU Tandon School of Engineering is hosting its 2017 Cyber Security Awareness Week.  One part of this week is a Law and Policy competition.  The deadline for entry to the competition is September 15, 2017.

“The Law & Policy Competition challenges contestants to think about the big picture of cyber security law, policy, economics, and governance.

Students interested in the nexus of law, policy, and emerging technology issues are invited to participate in the CSAW 2017 Law & Policy Competition, in which student teams from across the country will compete for the chance to present their best legal arguments in front of a panel of renowned judges. After a written qualifying round, the top four highest qualifying teams will travel to New York to present their arguments for the competition’s final round.

This year’s topic will address questions at the cutting edge of privacy, security, and technology, allowing students to research a highly relevant subject and argue their position on the topic in a legal brief. In the competition’s final round, the four finalist teams will have the opportunity to present oral arguments in front of a panel of judges, who will then question students in the style of an appellate court. The three top teams will receive cash prizes of $1000, $750, and $500.”
