Program Overview
After a five year hiatus, the world-renowned iLaw Program is returning to the Harvard Law School. The Berkman Center’s Internet Law Program (iLaw) was initially launched in 2000 to offer the public a way to learn about national and international legal, economic, and public interest debates surrounding the Internet from leading experts in the field.
The 2011 iLaw Program will engage new topics and revisit older topics within the technology, law and policy, and social science fields over a four-day conference, over September 5-9, 2011. Conference participants will consist of current students from the Harvard Law School (HLS) and the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), as well as selected researchers, lawyers, executives, faculty members, and technologists from the Harvard community and beyond.
