Internet Law Works in Progress; Internet Filtering – Santa Clara, CA

The High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University School of Law and the Institute for Information Law and Policy at New York Law School are pleased to announce a new annual work-in-progress series for Internet law scholarship. We hope the series will provide a gathering place for Internet law scholars as well as a forum for Internet law scholars to get feedback on their scholarly projects at an early stage of their research. The first annual event will be held at Santa Clara University on March 5, 2011. We will send a request for submissions later in the year. We are still developing the event’s format, and we welcome your input about what type of structure will be most useful for your research.

In conjunction with the work-in-progress event, on March 4, 2011, Santa Clara University will host an academic symposium celebrating the 15 year anniversary of 47 USC 230 [“private blocking and screening of offensive material”]. The symposium will feature some of the key historical players, including Ken Zeran as a keynote speaker, as well as some of the latest research about the statute. If you are currently doing research on 47 USC 230, please contact me.

Regards, Eric.
