These law and technology research areas touch upon important issues that receive increased attention at various levels of government and international organizations worldwide, e.g., innovation and intellectual property literacy, on how the law is shaped and disrupted by new technologies, and on how the law can or should intervene through various models of regulation.

​
These research areas also raise important issues of access to justice and transnationalism (e.g. access of student entrepreneurs to intellectual property literacy, autonomous vehicles, and accessibility, development of best practices to counter consumer deception in online environments). Successful LLM applicants will benefit from the vast expertise of Windsor Law faculty on access to justice and transnationalism, two institutional themes that are core to Windsor Law faculty teaching and scholarship.
