LAW 7372 - Criminal Procedure in the Digital Age


Credits: 3

Examines how the criminal legal system uses new technology and how the law regulates the use of such technology. Can constitutional language that pre-dates the use of electricity adequately address questions raised by big data policing, mass surveillance, AI use, and virtual criminal proceedings? How can longstanding legal doctrines be adapted to meet the challenges of the digital age? Can technology be used to advance efficiency while remaining true to constitutional values and principles? When and how should the use of technology in these settings be regulated through legislation or rules of procedure? (*updated* 12/3/2025; effective spring 2026)
