The legal questions issued by compliance and liability systems, as regulated by current sources, as well as those related to the admissibility and effectiveness of the so-called digital evidence, requires the training of jurists capable of understanding technical IT language and issues arising from cybersecurity systems; on the other hand, it is considered crucial to provide engineering students with the opportunity to acquire institutional knowledge on the legal issues involved in relationships originating from the fulfillment of cybersecurity obligations and the violation of the related systems.
The immediate objective is to build a law clinic in which, through the consolidated learning by doing methodology, law and engineering teachers can share the teaching load and, after an initial part dedicated to the study of some fundamental contents, submit to student teams (composed in a mixed way) the analysis, development and proposals for solutions of practical cases.
The mediated objective consists in the creation of a common grammar between jurists and engineers, called upon to deal with cyber security.
