With an expanding annual conference on computer and cyberspace law and new courses in cyberspace law, cybercrimes and electronic commerce, UD's program in law and technology is one of the few in the country that prepare lawyers for practice in intellectual property, patent and cyberspace law. I think the program has done a great deal to enhance the law school's reputation nationally. Between 15 and 20 percent of UD's law students take three or more intellectual property courses before they graduate. Kreiss expects the program to continue to grow, especially in cyberspace law, as demand from students and employers increases. Today, it's second nature for students to go on line.
