Halacha:

Business,  Choshen Mishpat,  Dina d'Malchuta Dina,  Nezikin 

Description

Methodology of Psak Halacha (Yeshivat Har Etzion): What does Halacha do when faced with an entirely new legal category? Does it create a new category? Relegate it to halachically recognized outside categories - namely use Dina DiMalchuta Dina? Does it ignore it? Creatively reinterpret precedent? This shiur explores these questions through the example of intellectual property and copyright law.
