Many countries have enacted new data privacy laws, or amended their existing laws, in recent years to enhance the protection of individuals&#8217; personal information. While there are often many similarities in the specific requirements of such laws, countries&#8217; objectives and approaches often differ with some focusing primarily on the protection of individual rights and freedoms, others emphasising the role of data in the digital economy and cross-border trade and yet others leveraging their laws to enhance national security and promote national development. Companies operating globally are thus required to navigate an increasingly complex legal environment.<\/p>\n<p>This course will explore the main theories of data privacy as well as a cross-section of national data privacy laws from North America, Europe and Asia. As this area of law continues to face new challenges arising from developments in business and technology, this module will conclude by examining the role of data privacy laws in regulating emerging technologies.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\" height=\"20\">Course Convenor(s)<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/people\/hu-ying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Assistant Professor Hu Ying<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Units<\/td>\n<td width=\"649\">5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\" height=\"20\">Class Dates<\/td>\n<td width=\"649\">Mondays: 3.00pm to 6.00pm\u00a0<br \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\" height=\"20\">Course Duration<\/td>\n<td width=\"649\">12 January 2026 to 13 April 2026<br \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\" height=\"20\">Modes of Assessment<\/td>\n<td width=\"649\">Class participation &#8211; 25% Research paper (5,000 words, excluding footnotes) &#8211; 75% [Due: Monday, 13 April 2026 (3pm)]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\" height=\"40\">Preclusion(s)<\/td>\n<td width=\"649\">LL4433\/LL5433\/LL6433 Global Data Privacy Law<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\" height=\"40\">Prerequisite(s)<\/td>\n<td width=\"649\"><a href=\"https:\/\/law1a.nus.edu.sg\/student_matters\/course_listing\/courses_disp.asp?MT=LL&amp;Sem=ALL&amp;MGC=1\">NUS Compulsory Core Law Curriculum<\/a> or common law equivalent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\" height=\"20\">SkillsFuture Credit<\/td>\n<td width=\"649\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\" height=\"40\">SILE Public CPD Points<\/td>\n<td width=\"649\">Up to 36 points<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>LL5438V Intellectual Property Arbitration<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<table width=\"853\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Course Description<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"649\">\n<p>This course introduces students to the exciting world of intellectual property arbitration.
