We will try to list upcoming seminars of interest to our majors.
There are some links to other events pages as well,

Ethan Katsh

Professor, Department of Legal Studies

 

Distinguished Faculty Lecture Series
Talk available on the web: Part 1 Part 2
Law in a Digital World: New Processes for an Age of Conflict and Change
Computers and the Internet have an impact on law far beyond such highly publicized issues as file sharing of music, censorship in China, and online pornography. Professor Katsh will discuss not simply how particular intellectual property or free expression cases should be resolved but how potential online civic institutions could protect the values and goals these legal doctrines enshrine. He’ll also consider new processes for dispute resolution and other cyber-mechanisms needed to protect the rule of law.
Wednesday October 25, 2006
4 p.m.
Massachusetts Room, Mullins Center
Free and open to all.
Reception follows the lecture.
Sponsored by the Office of the Chancellor and the Office of the Provost.
