Overview
The extent to which the law ought to preserve a distinctly private realm is a pressing concern in our surveillance society in which personal information is increasingly collected, transferred, and stored.

Wacks (law and legal theory, University of Hong Kong) argues that moral problems pervade the legal system and shows how the judicial function, the sources of legitimacy, and the protection of rights have an inescapable ethical dimension. He examines the private domain and the legal concept of privacy, and discusses the extent to which the law ought to preserve a distinctly private realm in a society in which personal information is increasingly collected, transferred, and stored.
