We show how technical conceptions of agents track some, but not all, socio-legal conceptions of agency. That is, both computer science and the law recog- nize the problems of under-specification for an agent, and both disciplines have robust conceptions of how to address ensuring an agent does what the programmer, or in the law, the principal desires and no more.
