Daniel Garrie's Scholarship Cited in Black's Law Dictionary for Foundational Technology Definitions

Recognition by the legal profession's authoritative dictionary underscores the firm founder's role in shaping how courts understand technology

NEW YORK / LOS ANGELES — Law & Forensics LLC announces that scholarship authored by Founder Daniel B. Garrie has been cited in Black's Law Dictionary — the most widely used and authoritative legal dictionary in the United States — as authority for the definitions of core technology terms, including Internet, Software, and Algorithm.

Black's Law Dictionary is the reference courts, practitioners, and law students turn to when they need a precise legal definition of a term. Having one's scholarship relied upon by its editors is an uncommon recognition, particularly for technology terms that sit at the intersection of law and engineering — precisely the terrain on which Law & Forensics works every day.

Garrie has authored well over one hundred articles and books on cybersecurity, eDiscovery, digital forensics, cryptocurrency, and cyber warfare, and his work has been cited extensively in legal scholarship and judicial opinions. He has taught technology and cybersecurity law at Harvard, Georgetown, Cardozo, and Rutgers, and he serves as a court-appointed special master, arbitrator, and forensic neutral in complex disputes across the country.

"Definitions matter enormously in law — a case can turn on how a court understands a single technical term," said Daniel Garrie, Founder of Law & Forensics. "Having that work recognized by Black's Law Dictionary is humbling, and it reflects what our whole firm tries to do: make complex technology legible to the people who have to decide cases."
