What diploma do you need to do computer law?

Answer 1

The answer depends on what aspect of computer law you want to "do". To actually practice law and litigate on legal matters involving computer usage, software copyrights and patents, etc. you need a law degree in the USA. I'm not sure what is required elsewhere like the UK or India or Japan or South Africa, etc.

To work in compliance you probably need a legal degree and/or a technical degree such as computer science with an computer security emphasis or computer network security or software engineering or computer forensics emphasis.

Many people who work in the field go for certifications rather than degrees. Certifications like CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) or CISSP or Security+ or CISA or CISM or GSNA might be useful.
