Title Seminar Civil Law and Computer Science: Distributed Trust and Blockchain
Description In this seminar, students of computer science and law will work closely together on questions concerning (de-)centralized finance and its potential in the legal domain. The goal of the seminar is to explore how technologies such as blockchain and de-centralized finance can be leveraged to realize new business models within our legal framework.

Participants will work in interdisciplinary groups to realize a mock business case and solve technical and legal problems. After either selecting a provided business model (or bringing one of their own), students will design, discuss and build a prototype capable of demonstrating technical viability of the business case. In addition to the engineering challenge, the teams will demonstrate compliance of their business model (and prototype) with applicable laws and regulations where law students take the role of a general counsel and support the project’s ambitious goals.
