Re: [WikiEN-l] Legal examination

Examination Question: Read the following "Sarah H. Cleveland is the Louis Henkin Professor of Human and Constitutional Rights at Columbia Law School. She is a noted advocate of the use of international law in U.S. courts. In her widely celebrated 2007 Civil Procedure final exam, she referenced Wikipedia to highlight how fraught personal jurisdiction issues have become in the Internet age. Students were asked to analyze whether an allegedly defamatory Wikipedia page edit could establish jurisdiction over the user in an unforeseeable State, so long as the defamation created harm in that State. She is a graduate of Brown University, University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and Yale Law School." Taken from Wikipedia's article on Prof. Cleveland. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sarah_Cleveland&oldid=2557711… Students should now write an essay on one of the following: 1) In terms of personal jurisdiction, analyze whether an allegedly defamatory Wikipedia page edit can establish jurisdiction over the user in an unforeseeable state, so long as the defamation created harm in that state. Or 2) Discuss why this particular Wikipedia article is bullshit. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
