But, it does take an attorney to divulge the legal, regulatory, and potential ethical implications of its true strength. Legal Matters 101 will present an introduction to key knowledge factors associated with Nano at the Bar and offer preventive steps to protect a company or organization from potential liability.

COURSE DETAILS:
The promise of nanotechnology offers a substantial return on society's investment, in particular, as it converges with biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive neuroscience. However, critics claim that the future of nanotechnology could be undermined because existing laws and regulations are being implemented, instead of creating new ones, without immediate plans for change.
With every advance in nanotechnology, the uncertainty of its risks deepens. A comprehensive cautionary legal and regulatory roadmap will be detailed through interactive case studies and role-playing scenarios to better understand workplace issues that may be associated with nanotechnology and prepare for its ethical dilemmas.
