The 1st Annual Privacy Law Scholars Conference is taking place June 12-13, 2008, at The George Washington University Law School.
Berkeley Law School and The George Washington University Law School have joined forces to launch the first annual Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC). The PLSC aims to assemble a wide array of privacy law scholars and practitioners from around the world to discuss current issues and foster greater connections between academia and practice. It will bring together privacy law scholars, privacy scholars from other disciplines (economics, philosophy, political science, computer science), and practitioners (industry, legal, advocacy, and government). Our goal is to enhance ties within the privacy law community and to facilitate dialogue between the different parts of that community (academy, government, industry, and public interest).The PLSC will be an annual event, alternating between Berkeley and GW Law Schools.
Hosts: The Berkeley Center for Law & Technology and the GW Law School Intellectual Property Law Program
