ABA TO HOST CYBER SECURITY DISCUSSION
Legal Business
Computers and networks have brought an entire world into our homes and law offices. As it turns out, the world is full of thieves, spies and hostile armies. What are the risks of cyber “insecurity,” and what can we do about them?
Answers to this question and more will be provided during an upcoming program sponsored by the American Bar Association. The program will be held as part of the association’s Annual Meeting, which begins Thursday.
Who: Stewart A. Baker
Former assistant secretary for Policy, Department of Homeland Security
What: “Cyber Security, Law and Liability — Thieves, Spies and Hostile Armies”
Sponsored by the ABA Standing Committee on Law & National Security
When: Friday, 3:45 p.m. — 5:15 p.m.
Where: Moscone West Convention Center
Room 2022, Second Floor
747 Howard St.
San Francisco
Joining Baker in the discussion will be Elizabeth Rindskopf Parker, dean and professor of law, University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law, and former general counsel, CIA; Robert Knake, International Affairs Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations, and co-author of Cyber War; and
Harvey Rishikof, professor of law and national security studies at the National War College, and former legal counsel to the deputy director of the FBI.
What will happen if the government makes it easier for federal agencies to demand that companies release personal electronic communications of persons who are part of a terrorism investigation? Baker answered that question in The Washington Post (7/29).

As the national voice of the legal profession, the ABA works to improve the administration of justice, promotes programs that assist lawyers and judges in their work, accredits law schools, provides continuing legal education, and works to build public understanding around the world of the importance of the rule of law.
