Computer Law

Knowledge of fundamental rights.

The methodology used will favor the active participation of students, in a dynamic that will be based on the following methodological and technical procedures: Affirmative method: presentation of basic information by the teacher (expository and demonstrative). Interrogative method: critical analysis and discussion of selected texts that exemplify concepts, methods, techniques and procedures presented. Active method: teaching by discovery, resolution and discussion of case studies. Questions are asked during the exhibition and digital platforms are used. Debates/discussions will be promoted in class and case studies will be resolved in the classroom, as already mentioned. The current and relevant jurisprudence on the subjects taught will always be analyzed.

The discipline has a relatively recent history in the Portuguese legal scene. The emergence of this new branch of Law is the result of the evolution of information and communication technologies and the need to establish a legal-normative framework.

The analysis will focus firstly on the technical-evolutionary perspective of information and communication technologies (ICT), followed by the legal protection of personal data, e-commerce and digital computer crime.

– Understand the evolution of information and communication technologies;

– Understand the legal framework for the protection of personal data: in a static and dynamic perspective;

– Understand the legal regime of e-commerce;

– Understand the phenomenon of computer crime from a social and legal perspective
