The University Course in Information Law and Legal Information was started by the BIM in 1999. It is headed by Nikolaus Forgó (University Hannover), an expert in information law (IT law). The course consists of four modules: introduction, classic distribution of information (e.g. radio, print media etc.), basics of information technology and law.

Each summer term Hannes Tretter holds a course on “Fundamental and Human Rights in Information Law”.
