Legal/Technical Architectures of Cyberspace

Will Tomorrow's Internet Resemble Today's?
Changes in the Legal & Technical Architectures of Cyberspace

Sponsored by:
The Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard Law School
The MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and the MIT Program on Science, Technology, and Society

The social and policy challenges of the Internet -- felt through issues such as content control, privacy, liability, digital identity -- must be addressed not just through law and not just through information technology, but by new frameworks that combine law and technology. Since September, groups of students from MIT and Harvard Law School have been collaborating to design some of these new frameworks and to address policy challenges from a combined legal/technical perspective.

The conference is the culmination of this collaboration, where invited experts in law and technology will comment upon and debate these proposals for the future of the Internet.

Please join students, faculty, and guests on Sunday, 6 December 1998 from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM at Ames Courtroom in Austin Hall on the Harvard Law School campus. See http://mit.edu/6.805/ for more information and a detailed schedule of proceedings.
