Synopsis

FIN389 Computational Law in Token Economy provides the foundations for a nascent discipline – computational law. While the discipline is still in infancy, its constituents – law and computer science – are mature and deep. Developments in FinTech have brought the two disciplines together. They are also the natural knowledge bases to ground general understanding of the foundations of future finance, namely blockchain society and token economy. Students will learn about concepts and issues at the confluence of computation and law, such as the distinctions between law and computer code, as well as applications to FinTech. They will also acquire technological skills that are useful for the handling of legal data and information.
