Title Seminar Civil Law and Computer Science: Distributed Trust and Blockchain
Description DAS SEMINAR IST AUSGEBUCHT!

The Institute for Civil Law and the Institute of Computer Science will hold an interdisciplinary seminar on the topic “Distributed Trust and Blockchain”. Students of computer science and law and will work closely together on questions concerning the blockchain and its potential in the legal domain. The goal of the seminar is to explore how the characteristics of blockchain technology can support the transfer and enforcement of rights.
Participants will work in interdisciplinary groups and relate their work to practical problems that arise when regulators and practitioners aim at digitalizing the legal world. In doing so, participating students will hopefully design and discuss truly innovative concepts for issues that have arisen or may arise in practice when creating, transferring or enforcing rights in real-world scenarios such as collateralizing assets or dealing with securities.
