Solove (George Washington U. Law School), Rotenberg (Georgetown U. Law Center), and Schwartz' (Brooklyn Law School) casebook on information privacy law serves as both an introductory textbook for students and as a reference work for practitioners. A major change to the second edition is the addition of Schwartz as a co-author; he brings ten-plus years of expertise writing about privacy issues. The second edition has been updated and restructured throughout to reflect changes in the field over the past three years. The original chapter on computer databases, records, and privacy now appears as two chapters--one on government records--the public sector side, the other covering consumer and financial privacy--the private sector side.
