The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School and the
Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) in Brazil are pleased to announce that
registration is now open for this spring's Internet Law Program in Rio de
Janeiro. The two institutions are collaborating for the program's South
American debut. The classroom component will take place March 24-28 at Le
Meridien Copacabana.
On the agenda: recent reforms in intellectual-property systems, privacy
versus security on the Net, the changing shape and role of ICANN, "open"
versus "proprietary" software systems, regulating pornography,
jurisdictional problems, cybercrime, addressing the digital divide, and
more. Simultaneous translations of the presentations into both Portugese and
Spanish will be available.
The core faculty are leading experts in the field, including Lawrence Lessig
of Stanford, Yochai Benkler of New York University, and William Fisher,
Charles Nesson and Jonathan Zittrain of Harvard. The program will also
feature guest lecturers from distinguished institutions in Brazil.
There will be a similar program at Stanford Law School in California June
30-July 4, 2003. It will be presented jointly by the Berkman Center and the
Stanford Center for Internet & Society. More details about this program and
registration will be available online beginning March 3, 2003.
