Faculty Virtual Lecture Series: Russian Election Interference, Cyber Crime, and Cyber Warfare

Albert (Buzz) E. Scherr - Professor of Law, Chair of the International Criminal Law and Justice Program

When should state-sponsored cyber-hacking constitute cause for war? The Russian government sponsored hacking of the democratic National Committee's e-mail and of state & local election board systems. This virtual session explores the outlines of how and when such conduct is prosecutable as a crime and, if not, how and when it would constitute a basis for war-like response from the U.S.

The UNH Law Faculty Virtual Lecture Series provides an opportunity for prospective students, JD candidates, alumni, and legal professionals to engage in timely discussions about current topics and legal issues.
