Profile: Professor Yochai Benkler

Yochai Benkler currently teaches at Yale Law School and formerly served as the Director of the Engelberg Center for Innovation Law and Policy at NYU School of Law. He was a visiting professor at Harvard Law School during the 2002-2003 academic year, and we're excited that he'll be coming back to Cambridge for this year's ILaw program. Professor Benkler studies the effects of laws that regulate information production and exchange on the distribution of control over information flows, knowledge, and cultural production in the digital environment. He particularly enjoys the interplay of information among the broad spectrum of people who participate in iLaw each year: "iLaw has always offered a fantastic platform for cross-pollination among a remarkably diverse set of participants, from many walks of life and many nations. From practicing lawyers and entrepreneurs, through legal academics and computer engineers, to business people and public interest advocates, we have all learned a great deal from each other."
