Welcome to the iLaw 2011 Wiki!
| The Berkman Center for Internet & Society is very pleased to offer the iLaw 2011 Program, which will take place Tuesday, September 6th - Friday, September 9th. Please read this section closely, as it contains important information about the iLaw Program.
This wiki will serve as a repository for information and materials related to the iLaw 2011 program. Here, you will find the iLaw Program Schedule, information about Program Logistics, program session descriptions, required and suggested reading assignments, and information about final student projects. We received an enormous amount of interest in this year's program. For this reason, and out of respect for others, we ask that all participants commit to attending all sessions in the program -- the evening events, however, are optional. |

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.
