Abstract:
This conceptual paper considers Law as different types of network and how an understanding of these networks, at the systems level, might assist in decision making and taking processes necessary for: information assurance; privacy; and, security applications in Law – as may be applied in Cyber through emerging legal networks. We first identify the systems we might be working with before considering Law as a networked ecology. We then look at law beyond existing stable, more certain and ruled jurisdictions and how it might be applied to decision making and taking in Cyber. We consider an example of how law may apply in areas of uncertainty and where existing jurisdictional remits may no longer apply e.g., in stateless jurisdictions. We conclude by considering how Legal Networks may assist in the decision making, taking and social problem solving processes in Cyber and so contribute to system resilience.
