Computer Law

Post by #NotACop » Mon Nov 03, 2014 1:40 pm

This may be a stupid question, but I was looking at a few attorney profiles from one of the bigger law firms in my area. One of the attorneys specializes in e-discovery, cyber law, information management, ect. As an undergrad I did a lot of work with computer forensics so I love that kind of stuff. However, I haven't really seen it in too many other places. My question is, what do these areas of law actual consist of? And, is it a viable field to get into?

Was the position for substantive legal practice in those areas or litigation support/management? Specializing on legal issues about those areas and specializing in those areas are different things.

The lawyer is the head of the e-discovery litigation team, so I assume the former.
