Summary:

"This thorough and incisive Research Handbook reconstructs the scholarly discourses surrounding the field of law and technology, recognising how it has been established over the last decade as one of the focal points of legal scholarly debate. Adopting a multidimensional approach, the Research Handbook on Law and Technology brings together an array of esteemed experts and new voices in the field with chapters considering antitrust, artificial intelligence, consumer law, legal responses to techlaw uncertainties, internet, methodology, and human rights in the digital age. Contributors examine the interaction between various branches of law and technology and analyse specific challenges that technology poses to law and legal scholarship, using theoretical reasoning and case-specific examples to support key arguments. Ultimately, this Research Handbook encourages a critical approach when engaging with discussions on law and technology, arguing that our understanding can only be improved and developed by challenging existing paradigms. The Research Handbook on Law and Technology is a fundamental resource for legal students, academics, researchers and practitioners interested in the legal challenges stemming from the use of different technologies. Providing a comprehensive examination of technology's multidisciplinary nature, this book will also appeal to academics in the fields of philosophy, social science, political science and public policy"-- Provided by publisher.
