ASSESSING DAMAGES IN PRIVACY CASES: A PANEL DISCUSSION WITH ANDREW SERWIN, JAY EDELSON AND GARRETT GLASGOW

Moderated by Dominique-Chantale Alepin1

The growth of the internet and other technologies and the explosion of available data has put privacy and cybersecurity cases in the spotlight. These cases raise a host of thorny questions. Among the most difficult are questions concerning what damages are, or should be, available to plaintiffs. The Golden State Institute was pleased to feature a distinguished panel of thought leaders in this area to discuss this important and fascinating topic.
