  1. wireless policies & network lockdown

  2. school computers • OPAC/web only • research computer • full workstation • student laptops

  3. OPAC/web only • older x86 • Windows XP • SiteKiosk • physically remote & scattered

  4. research computer • newer iMacs • Mac OS X (10.3) • refreshed by script • physically close, well watched

  5. full lab workstation • new x86 (Dell) • Win XP • XP User accounts (tied to AD) • AD-enforced law students only

  6. network policies • wired or wireless: same • local network is open • internet requires MACself-registration • router enforced

  7. classroom policies • all rooms have wired desks • no “off switch” for professors • most rooms now have wifi — intentionally or not • access is similar throughout the building

  8. summary: student • open access from my computer • pretty open from lab computers • fairly open library computers • pay-to-print

  9. summary: guest • no internet access from my computer • fairly open library computer • can save to USB or CD-R • no word processing • pay-to-print

  10. levels of locking • our computers: locked +/– • their computers: patched (we hope) • could require control software • classroom network: no “off” switch • could provide faculty a big red switch • could limit access (students would rebel)

  11. the more the better less CONTROL or TRUST more

  12. issues • students surfing in class • exam honesty/collection • inappropriate network use • email list abuse • printing abuse

  13. issues: solutions • we can (and do) address these issues with technological “locks” • does this really solve anything? • what messages does it send?

  14. are locks a solution? • detriment to technology literacy • encourage “helpless” users • communicate lack of trust • unlocked cabin • deadbolts on NYC apartment

  15. are locks a solution? • give us a false sense of security • annoy legitimate users • seldom stop determined bad guy • undermine professional values

  16. professional values • ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 8.4(c): • It is professional misconduct for a lawyer to: … engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation;…

  17. professional values • expectations for new lawyers are clear, why should law students be different? • community values protecting a community good • even non-lawyers will likely enter a field with similar expectations

  18. suggestion • student laptops • enough restrictions to keep them out of real trouble (require patches and antivirus) • open enough to allow experimentation • profs/staff set rules • peers address disruptive activity directly

  19. discussion • open/closed balance • technology literacy • honor codes • personal ethics • outside pressures
