Research and teaching

Schwartz's research centers around the legal and policy implications of data mining,[4] security breaches,[5] and spyware.[6] Together with Daniel J. Solove, Schwartz has re-introduced and systematized the concept of personally identifiable information in privacy law.[7] A special focus of his work has been comparative law and differences in the privacy law of the European Union and the United States. He teaches information privacy, intellectual property, and tort law.

Academic career

Paul Schwartz graduated from Brown University and Yale Law School, where he served as a senior editor of the Yale Law Journal. He was the Anita and Stuart Subotnick Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School from 1998 to 2004.[8] He joined the Berkeley Law faculty in 2006. He is co-reporter of the American Law Institute’s Restatement of Privacy Law Principles. He is a member of the organizing committee of the Privacy and Security Forum[9] and the Privacy Law Salon.[10] He is co-reporter of the American Law Institute's Restatement of Information Privacy Principles.

Many law professors have sought to promote the critical thinking of students in tort awareness throughout their lives and studies. However, despite the importance of the study of torts, students only study torts as a first-year doctrinal class. In a response to this and in an attempt to promote his students' attention to torts, Schwartz created the phrase "You Only Tort Once," or "YOTO."
