Ethics and Law in Computing: Exploring Legal Issues and Ethical Concerns in 21st-Century Technology investigates a variety of issues students are likely to encounter in their future careers as computer or IT professionals.

The book provides students with foundational knowledge on logic, ethics, and the legal process, while presenting in-depth discussions of technological, legal, and ethical issues of concern to today's computer professionals using actual case studies.
Opening chapters cover the basics of U.S. law and the court system, ethical theories, how to read legal cases and statutes, and a detailed introduction to intellectual property. The text also examines professionalism, logic and logical fallacies, responsibility and accountability. Later chapters address how technology impacts issues of privacy, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. The closing chapter provides a brief overview of online legal research.
