Joseph J. Schwerha IV, JD, MS

I am a Professor of Business Law & Technology at PennWest University, where I serve as the principal faculty member leading teaching and research at the intersection of law and emerging technologies. My academic and professional focus includes cybercrime, data privacy, cybersecurity law, and the legal implications of artificial intelligence.

With a career devoted to advancing legal scholarship and practical understanding of digital innovation, I have lectured extensively both in the United States and internationally. My work explores how evolving technologies challenge existing legal frameworks and seeks to prepare the next generation of legal and business professionals to navigate complex regulatory landscapes.

I regularly contribute to public and academic discussions on the ethical and societal impact of emerging tech and serve as an advisor and speaker to organizations seeking to align legal strategy with digital transformation.
