The publisher's announcement follows. Bob The Michie Company Introduces Data Privacy Law: A Study of United States Data Protection by Paul M. Schwartz and Joel R. Reidenberg Data Privacy Law: A Study of United States Data Protection is the first book to analyze comprehensively U.S. fair information practices law as it pertains to data protection issues in both the public and private sectors. Data Privacy Law was underwritten by the European Commission in preparation for the issuance of its Directive 95/46/EC (October 24, 1995) on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data. The book compares coherently the fair information practices of the United States with principles common to divergent legal systems. Data Privacy Law has important practical applications and will help companies that employ transborder telecommunications, conduct interjurisdictional financial transactions, or advertise across borders to define their own data protection strategies to ensure that expectations of fair information practices are met. The book will assist lawyers, government regulators and scholars to understand data flows in both the public and private sectors. Author Paul M. Schwartz, Professor of Law at the University of Arkansas School of Law (Fayetteville), has been a guest professor at the University of Nantes, a Fulbright Senior Lecturer at the Goethe University?s Research Center for Data Protection, and a Research Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and of the Harry Guggenheim Foundation. He has provided advice and testimony to governmental bodies in the United States and Europe. At present, he serves as Special Advisor to a study of health care applications of the National Information Infrastructure carried out by the National Academy of Science's National Research Council. Author Joel R. Reidenberg is Associate Professor of Law at Fordham University School of Law. He serves as chair of the Section on Computers and Law of the Association of American Law Schools and is a Fellow of the Cyberspace Law Institute. Formerly, he practiced in the Washington, D.C. office of Debevoise & Plimpton, where he worked with the international telecommunications group on European telecommunications liberalization and competition law issues, data protection regulation, and intellectual property issues. Professor Reidenberg served as an advisor to the U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment and has testified on information privacy before various government bodies. Both authors have written and lectured extensively on privacy and information technology law.
