Privacy and Data Protection Law - 2nd Edition - McGeveran

Privacy and Data Protection Law 2nd Edition McGeveran ISBN 9781642421125

Privacy and Data Protection Law introduces students to one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving areas of modern legal practice—one that is both intellectually rich and engaging to teach. In addition to covering traditional foundations such as privacy torts and the Fourth Amendment, the book focuses on the complex statutory and regulatory regimes that define contemporary privacy law. It combines carefully edited case excerpts with regulatory materials, hypothetical problems, and sustained attention to global privacy frameworks, while also exploring emerging technological frontiers.

The Second Edition has been comprehensively revised and updated to reflect significant recent developments across the field. It incorporates coverage of major new statutes, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and innovative state laws addressing health data and children’s privacy. The edition also integrates analysis of landmark Supreme Court decisions such as Carpenter v. United States, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and TransUnion LLC v. Ramirez, illustrating how constitutional, statutory, and procedural doctrines intersect with privacy rights.

In addition, the book examines evolving regulatory approaches at the Federal Trade Commission, including challenges to the scope of FTC authority and the implications of the agency’s record-setting $5 billion penalty against Facebook. New material addresses cutting-edge technological challenges, such as biometric identification, algorithmic bias, and data retention practices in an era of inexpensive and pervasive digital storage.

With its clear, comprehensive, and up-to-date treatment, Privacy and Data Protection Law equips students to understand—and effectively respond to—the real-world legal and regulatory challenges their clients will face in today’s information-driven economy.
