Again, the guidelines...

1. This is a law subject and not a course in journalism and, hence, the topic should resolve a legal or a policy issue.
2. This subject is "Technology and the Law" and, hence, the topic should revolve around Techno-Legal issues and should not treat technology as a mere incidental component in the topic presented.
3. The topic, when subsequently discussed, should have practical applicability.
