Overview
Primarily a casebook, this text explores the constitutional tenets, judicial constructs, and legislative precepts of informational privacy law in the United States addressing fundamental issues of privacy, control over access to personal information, constraints on dissemination of such information, and "autonomous decision making" as seen through consideration of reproductive freedom and end of life decisions. Schachter (deputy general counsel for AOL Time Warner Book Group) includes materials that she finds analytically noteworthy, of continuing judicial relevance, or of significant media import. Concurring and dissenting opinions are often included to aid in understanding of alternative and countervailing rationales. In addition to case material, there are some excerpts of analytical commentary. Schachter considers her text to be a compatible expansion of Law of Internet Speech.
