Driving Questions From Faculty
The questions posed below by Berkman Faculty members reflect the fundamental inquiries for participants to consider during the 2011 iLaw Program.
Yochai Benkler
- How do we systematize cooperative human systems design, now that we all know that online collaboration is a critical component of the networked information economy?
- How do we integrate power into our understanding of networked society? What are the limits of public action, and what are the limits of decentralized action, given power in the market, the state, real-world society and the network?
William Fisher
- Suppose it were to be agreed among us that when the founders wrote the Progress clause of our constitution, the exclusive right they were granting to publishers of creative works was the legal right to stop other publishers from selling copies of their works. Can you tell a coherent legal story about how we got from there to here?
Charlie Nesson
- Suppose it were to be agreed among us that when the founders wrote the Progress clause of our constitution, the exclusive right they were granting to publishers of creative works was the legal right to stop other publishers from selling copies of their works. Can you tell a coherent legal story about how we got from there to here?
- Viewed from the vantage of equal citizens in a public domain of common (totally usable) knowledge, when did We the People surrender the liberty of privately copying works of any kind? That is to say, when was this liberty taken from us?
=Jonathan Zittrain
- How do we reconcile welcome contributions from all corners with poisoned apples?
- What is the Internet doing to us?

Program Materials
The iLaw program features a mixture of interactive lectures, roundtable-style and moderated discussions lead by Harvard Law School faculty members, Berkman Center researchers, fellows, and special guests. The sessions, which have been designed to expose students and audience members to the diverse nature of iLaw, will cover three types of substantive topical areas: (1) "Thematic Pillars" (the foundational topics and theories of iLaw), topics, (2) "Cross-sectional Themes" (which explore overlapping themes below the foundational surface), and (3) Case Studies (cases and examples of themes in practice).
Below are links to pages on this wiki categorized by topical area. These pages contain session overviews and links to the required reading assignments, suggested readings, and related Cross-sectional or Case Study sessions. For more information about the schedule or logistics, please consult the Program Schedule and Program Logistics pages.
Each day will end with an optional evening event. These events will offer unique opportunities to interact with Berkman Center and Harvard faculty, staff, fellows, and members of the community. Students and audience members are strongly encouraged to attend these events and learn more about the Berkman Center and it's diverse, enthusiastic community.
