Program Summary

When a virtual car sells for more money than most real, functional cars—is it a sign of a bubble or a booming new industry? Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have captured our attention over the recent months, raising questions like: How do NFT’s even work? Why pay millions of dollars for digital art that is available to everyone? How does this new technology fit within our current laws and regulations? Are NFTs here to stay? This presentation will explore these questions and more, explaining what an NFT is and discussing potential legal problems that the technology might raise.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.
